Ab Wisselink from the Netherlands, the maker of this video, writes about it (translated):
On May 13 [2015], I photographed a tree frog sitting sunbathing on a blackberry bush in a new nature reserve of the State Forestry in Halle-Heide (Achterhoek region).
From the right underside a snail entered the picture, crawling, and passed the tree frog, neatly according to the traffic rules on the left side. The frog moved aside a bit, but otherwise let it happen quietly, and the snail seemed to have no trouble finding its way with between the sharp blackberry thorns. Wonderful to experience!
Haha! That was very cool to watch! ๐

Indeed. Tree frogs are rather rare in the Netherlands; and situations like this are even rarer. The maker of this video was lucky.
