Green-winged teal - Marloes Mere

Green-winged teal west of main hide at 10am briefest of views as it disappeared in the rushes. Spent an hour looking around and eventually at 11am relocated it preening and occasionally having a little swim around with group of 2-3 other teal, seemed very interested in a female teal with lots of head-bobbing follows, could it be a pair? Viewed from main hide between 11-12noon, distant (approx 100m) and obstructed views looking towards extreme west over the top of rushes. Also 2 black-tailed godwits flew east and not forgetting the Glossy which flew from west to east.
