We went to see the spoonbills yesterday afternoon at about 5.30pm.  The chicks on the RH nest, I think, are bigger than those on the lower LH. Parent appeared attentive.  Good on Geoffrey picking up 3 chicks on LH nest.  We were watching for about 15 minutes and during that time, the parent just stood on one leg, seeming to ignore the chicks.  We saw no movement in the upper nest.
