Blackbird (Turdus Merula L.) juv's

This morning we watched three recently fledged blackbirds feeding in the back garden. The young birds being closely monitored  by the ad. ♂ parent.

A single ad. ♀ blackbird was also seen feeding seperately and for the briefest of moments which makes me wonder if she is already sitting on a second clutch of eggs?
