What does the lump feel like Mollie? Hard/soft ???

Could it have had a cut that may have got infected ?

How long has it been there ?

Might be worth visiting  a vet if he/she is under the weather with it :)

I havent felt it to be honest, I will check tomorrow.  The duck is otherwise absolutley fine, lots of energy and eating well and there are no cuts either.  Its been there for about a week now.
