I found this jelly like thing on my bumper after driving through a puddle alongside a flooded river. I haven't a clue what it is? Any ideas?

Haven't a clue!!! Mind you it looks like some kind of spawn?
Or is it a lump of cottonwool with cress seed on it 
Really I don't know but I'm sure someone on here will!

Thanks for your replies! If it helps, it was in the river coquet, about 300m asl.
Unlike the goshawk  , I actually don't know what this is

It does look like some sort of spawn, maybe frogspawn that has been killed by the severe weather we have been having? |

Fabulous day up North, so I shall sit in the sunshine and flip through some of my books. I know I shall be sidetracked by some other interesting info that I come across, but no matter it's a lovely way to spend a Sat. p.m.
Incidentally, RobF - do you still have this 'thing'? If so, is it the same on the bottom as it is on the top, and what are the true colours?
It reminds me very much of the caddis fly egg mass which wildone photographed a while ago, and which had us all stumped for a while. The caddis does lay its eggs in or near water, so it could well be one of the 188 British species. |
