Welcome to Wild About Britain devonpaul, I think it is a spiders egg sack although, I could be wrong, no idea which species.

I agree that is probably a spider's egg sac. If you look on the rest of the plant you can see, there is spider silk. It would be worth your looking very carefully on the plant for a little splodge of silk, which may well contaain the spider responsible. If you disturb it, it will probably drop to the ground and play dead. If you have something underneath that it will fall into and something to put it in, you might be able to get a photo, and then put it back where it came from.

Yesterday I was leading an invertebrate walk in Richmond Park + we found large numbers of Wasp Spiders, particularly in clumps of Juncus, + there were quite a few egg sacs of these too. It was good to see so many of these; along with an attractive spider called Neoscoma adiantum also in these plants.

Neoscona adianta, a very nice spider indeed.
I can't your spider at 11 o'clock Paul? and I'm not so hot on egg sacs
