Pair of ducks (male and female) staying around in and around garden for a few days?
So recently, we have had a pair of mallard ducks (a male and a female) in our garden
They have been there since Thursday (today being Monday) and we are unsure if they are going to stay and nest or something?
There isn't a pond in the garden but nearby there is a large lake which has a lot of ducks in it
They keep walking around the garden (looking at and observing the whole garden, mainly shrubs and secluded spots in plants), go off for an hour and then come back and stay over night (repeating)
My main questions:
> Are they likely to stay and nest?
> What should we do if they do have a nest?
> Should we call the RSPCA?
Thanks :)
It isn't that we dislike them as we want cute duckling walking around :D
But we are worried that we don't know what to do that is all :)

They'll leave after a few days once they've run out of things to eat. If you want them to go earlier, just walk around the garden (you don't have to scare them). They only like human company if there's food involved.

If they stay and nest, be happy that you have DUCKS. Ducks are awesome. Why on earth would you not welcome them?
