Give them some water, a few bits of bread, not too much or it will make them ill, and then keep an eye on them. If you can make sure its safe from foxes as they would just swallow them whole.

Then look out for the parents and see if they go off with them.
With it being a built up area with a motorway, I'd say the best thing might be to catch them and take them to the sea, however I dont know enough about ducks to know if they need their parents or not.

Good luck.
I'm afraid they still need the parents.Anyway they may not be heading to the sea just the nearest large fast flowing water source.

Why not contact the Hedgehog sanctuary folk? I forget the name but according to the TV series they make a point of rescuing ALL wildlife.

Incog.

here you are St Tiggywinkles
