@Emma: Yes they do on both - land and water. But if it's land, it's close and more important accessable to the water. Plus they try to lay at hidden places - a branch 1.50m high above ground doesn't appear to be a good choice. @Mick: Yes, you maybe right - probably a salamander...Newts usually don't climb that high as well - they keep their contact to water.
http://www.livescience.com/2542-transitional-frog-lays-eggs-water-land.html This link says that a tree frog can lay eggs both on water and in land.
Yes Lars you seem to be coorect in my investigation on the web always relates to water placement for the 'frog spawn" - Maybe some kind of newt like amfibian does this?
I was thinking about frog spawn as well - but: this breed was spotted on a deadwood beech stem, 1.50m above ground...not very usual for our frogs and toads here.

Happy Fertility everyone- These could be "Frog Sporn" (3rd photo reminds me of what I saw as a child at the edge of ponds in England)?
haha...Happy Easter to you, too, Daniele ;)
Easter eggs:-) Seriously I don't know, but I'd be interested to know too!
