Changing moods of the Welsh River Usk followed through the seasons of the year. Delicate camera-work reveals activities, rare to the naked eye, of species living in and around the river - the microscopic diatoms and leeches, insects, birds and fish - all contributing to the intricate society of the river’s life.
