What is it? Part II

This autumn, to our knowledge, our pond hosted four fish (one orange, two white and the mysterious black fish that only L. saw) and a frog. Unfortunately, the only time I saw the frog was after the pond froze over completely and the poor chap was floating, outstretched, in a watery purgatory. It was a very sad day, and I felt our pond had lost some of its charm due to its froglessness.

However, it seems that was not indeed the case. This afternoon, I went out to feed the fish and this is what was floating on top:

Preliminary research seems to suggest these are frog eggs. It would seem we have at least one more frog and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a male frog has done his duty, and that we will soon have many little frogs....this is almost as good as a puppy.
