That should be interesting. Fortunately there's not too many roads between us and the canal. It's quite quiet if they pick their moment.It might be stating the obvious, but shortly after all the ducklings have hatched, they'll be marched (walked) to the water. This is probably the most dangerous time for them as, they will cross roads, oblivious to the traffic.
Time to order a few signs:
I'm slowly becoming the "Birdman of Weeping Cross". A few years ago a pair of blackbirds nested in front of our kitchen window on a recess in a brick wall behind some foliage. It was a bit precarious - not the best place to build a nest. Anyway, we came down one morning to find the nest on the floor and 4 chicks scattered nearby, unable to move. I just put the nest back where it was and put the chicks back in as best I could - not the easiest job as they're all legs and wings. Anyway, I couldn't have done too bad a job as a few weeks later we watched all four chicks "fly the nest", dashing across the patio to the bushes in the garden.
