Re: Funnel Web spider??

There are quite a few common names for many spiders and the term 'funnel shapped' is sometimes used to describe a web, which helps in identification.

Certainly looks like A. labyrinthica to me. I am seeing a lot of them on gorse alongside the S. Devon coast path now. Difficult to photograph well as, like you remark, they run into the back of their web as you approach.
