K3 barely held on to the edge of the nest, but it turned out well and didn't fall 8-) .

most probably in the forest streams

edit:
A spawning center is a pool/puddle or similar water habitat that is filled with stagnant water. ...
Frogs are also found in other water centres (ponds, lakes, streams, rivers and creaks, puddles, etc.)

Thanks Marika for the info. Due to the fact that the weather is warm and sunny, it is good if there are still such puddles - ponds with stagnant water :) .

Good afternoon, ladies :)

I'm happy that Kaia finds these frogs. Probably there's a shallow pond or wetlands near the feeding areas.

Ps. New article in Looduskalender: https://www.looduskalender.ee/n/node/6885

"Female Kaia brings food to the nestlings usually two times, often searching amphibians from nearby meadows near the stream. It's hard to see between the chicks flapping with big wings, what the parents feed them with."
