Looks like these ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_processionary
Thanks for sharing this link.
Could they be line processionary caterpillars? If so, their hairs can cause severe issues (including blindness).
I typically avoid caterpillars in the wild, especially hairy ones.
You can contact your local health/environmental agency and request an ID from a professional. Where I live it normally takes a day or two and they can confirm if it poses any danger.
I'm not bothered if they possess any danger or not...... In any case, my uncle burnt the thing down.

About
Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.
Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...
