They looked like slush balls at first glance but a closer examination revealed them to be gelatinous. Although there are theories of meteoric origin for these curious 2cm diameter spheres the generally accepted view seems to be that they are frog spawn, regurgitated by herons etc., as a part of a frog that is unpalatable. Not that uncommon apparently.
