Millet, poke an old dead branch in the bank about 10 foot from the hole - with luck they will perch before they go in and give you the chance of a photo or two

Aye, i've found mallards in some crazy places over the years. The thing with the females camouflage is that she seems to blend in no matter where she lays! I've found mallard nests a long way from any water, the duck must do well to lead her ducklings on a long march to the nearest water, but it's amazing how she knows where it is....

A great nesting spot and I hope none of he babies fall down the grates,.....

I have lots of trouble with Mallards nesting where I work. The parents don't seem to realise that the chicks will not be able to get out of bywashes and sumps along channels near reservoirs. I carry a landing net in my van, so I scoop them out and put them somewhere they can be safe. Normally in the reservoir! I've had one or two holes knocked through the odd lodge so they can get out as I can't be everywhere to help them.
