A Hairy Meal

A fondness for hairy caterpillars. I suspect this was a female cuckoo as a male was calling not far off. She swung it around for a minute or two before making off with it still in her beak in the direction of the male.

Probably an Oak Eggar Moth caterpillar. One thing's for sure. Unlike the worm our blackbird was carrying earlier it's not destined to become a meal for any chicks.
