Hi gonk

I have one of these very same type of spiders just outside my front window at home and its great to watch it re spin its web in a morning and at night time around 1800pm it will come out of its hiding place a take up its postion in the middle of the web and wait for its prey.

It must be quite active during the night as every morning its out respinning the web again.

Do yo know what type of spider this is?, i would be very intrested to know.

Great shots gonk keep them coming especially more of the spider please.

It's a Garden Spider (Orb Weaving Spider) I think.
