The hard-working parents have been successful this year... I'm so pleased for them! Especially with the poor male struggling to feed the chicks despite his dislocated leg...he's gone above and beyond the call of duty. 
They are still feeding the fledglings, (often chasing them around the garden with a beakful of mealworms... like a mother trying to get her willful teenager to eat- "MUM I'm NOT hungry!!") it is funny to watch.
I'm guessing that one fledgling is female, and the other a male- going by the colours of their feathers, since one already looks darker.
