Hi Laura
I'm no expert but what about baby newts?
Have you read the How To thread re uploading photos.

Make sure you click on the "Use rich formatting" so that you open the full editor and keep the size of your photo below 2Mb

Thanks TeeJay!
Well done for posting a photo. I really don't know what that is so will have to pass on this one. Someone will know for sure.
I think it is what's charmingly known as a 'rat-tailed maggot' - the larval stage of a species of large hoverfly (Eristalis tenax, sometimes called Drone-fly). The 'tail' is actually a breathing tube.

I think its a lavae that uses the "tail" as a breathing tube. If you have only just made your pond it may be low in oxygen - try adding some oxygenating plants and it should sort itself out
