Mallard Chicks

Afternoon All

We’ve had a Mallard nesting in a hanging basket (5 feet up) outside our back door for the bast 8 weeks or so.Today a number of ducklings have appeared in the basket prompting concern for their welfare.I’ve put a bean bag beneath the basket to cushion any falls but wonder if I should carry the nest (hanging basket and ducklings minus mum whom I assume will sharper) to a field pond around 100 yards away.Any advice much appreciated

PS Plenty of crows,jays,magpies,sparrow-hawks and buzzards around to make any independent journey to the pond rather perilous
