Description
Great tit on a nest of processionary caterpillars.
Pine processionary caterpillars form large nests in trees. They are voracious, and can gradually kill the tree. In addition, they are dangerous for humans and for pets, because when they are worried, they can throw stinging hairs harmful to the eyes or if we breathe near their passage. Fortunately, the tits love to eat these caterpillars! Here she is doing her caterpillar meal!

Great explanation and marvelous catch, Jean!
near a lake in East Texas they encompass entire trees, often killing the trees. during times of strong winds, the web breaks loose with the caterpillars and is carried by wind. I have seen them flying by over my house
