mallard duck is she nesting and what do we do ?

 

hi a pair of mallards have arrived in our garden the female looks a little bigger than the male and there looks to be a bump between her legs is she about to lay eggs

we have put a plastic storage box/tray out with conifer cuttings in it and have put the box in between some plant pots to give her  some shelter

we have also put out sun flower seeds and a bowel of water
