The course of the tidal inlet Crindau Pill here bends through 90 degrees. The three dark blobs in the pill are ducks swimming downstream (away from the camera). Malpas Brook enters the River Usk through Crindau Pill, so the water at this point has varying degrees of salinity, depending on whether the flow is from the freshwater brook, or from the Bristol Channel via the Usk.
