The Mallard drake and the clover

Back at the lake again, this Mallard would not budge no matter how close I got to him. I'm sure he was sitting on a nest. The clover in the background may (or may not) be Zig Zag Clover. It's definitely a clover, just not sure which one it is.

I honestly don't know one from another! I find ducks really hard to photograph. They are constantly on the move! Great capture.
