Thanks Venger.
I can definitely see the Genus Araniella but am surprised you suggest species cucurbitina as I thought they had a green abdomen like this earlier pic of mine: 
I was also wondering about the extremely large pedipalps on the spider I photographed this morning - here's another pic of it:

Juvenile A.cucurbitina are generally quite red - they develop the green abdomen later on.
The pedipalps a quite commonly that size for this species.
