the skin of mammals is not water permeable like amphibians skin is. Amphibians need to be either in water or moist environments at most time or else they would just dry up. Another reason is that mos amphibians have a larval stage (ex.tadpoles) that can never leave the water. This basically bounds amphibians to water. Amphibians also have webbed limbs adapted for water and not land.

Why is there a much greater diversity of flying birds than there is of flying mammals?

Think of it as the same thing as land mammals versus water mammals. Marine mammals first evolved to life on land and then adapted to return to the water, but not all mammals did that. Similar thing with birds. All birds evolved from common flying ancestors, whereas flying mammals evolved from land mammals at a much later point in evolutionary history. Hope that helps.
