If you are in the UK, report them. They're an invasive pest

In Germany it's the same with some of these ("Eichenprozessionsspinner" can cause dangerous very serious inhalatory problems).

Same in France (makes sense, we're located just between you two).

Though I think we got more pine processionaries than oak ones. Different species, different tree, but a health hazard too.
