The murky pond at Rudyard Kipling's house, Bateman's, in Burwash, has been transformed.
The National Trust has planted Yellow Iris, reeds and sedges around its edge and dozens of carp, which eat frog and toad spawn and tadpoles, dragonfly & damselfly larvae, have been removed. As a result visitors will see a more natural pond teeming with aquatic life.
