Looks like pisura mirabilis - the nursery web spider. The teardrop shped abdomen and the light strip down the centre of the cephlothorax is the way to identify them. Also there generally bigger than wolf spiders |

No problem - people are always helping me on here with IDs - plus Pisura mirabilis is a particular fav of mine. I was most annoyed when my council decided to strim a local populations habitat to the ground |

Yes Pisuara is a very nice spider with an equally good life cycle |

But theres area behind it further from the path thats also nettle patch so I hoping there in there and less visible this time of year - as i ahvent seen as many recently elsewhere either |
