Default Help me identify these eggs

Strings of eggs just appeared in our pond this morning. We have Koi
and goldfish. We've had a number of tadpoles, but these are
definitely not toad/frogs.

Can anyone identify these eggs?

Thanks,

Looks like toads. See http://groups.google.com
Group rec.ponds, words "frog friendly" and look for K30a response.

Why do you say they are not toad eggs?

Rule of thumb (a green thumb ;-) is that
frogs' eggs are laid in clumps, toads' eggs
in strings, newt and salamander eggs in individual spots wrapped in leaves, one
or a few together.

They look like toad eggs to me but the picture came through really large on my
computer so it was hard to find the eggs in the picture but they looked like
toad.

Thank you all for the help! We've seen clumps of eggs before, and
thought those were toads as we had 100s of tadpoles and later toads.
