Afternoon Hed,
Can you try for a top-down? Someone with a guide may be able to help with identifying it via the epyginal markings ( this being a female - thin, non-bulbous palps), but a dorsal angle would be great if poss!
Take care, Jason  |

It looks like a juvenile, so trying to look at the epigyne wouldn't be any good. I suspect it's a Nuctenea umbratica |

Looks good! How have you aged him/her? Always useful tips to learn. |

lack of swollen palps or an obvious epigyne
colours seem subdued, especially the legs
the proportions don't seem right somehow, though if you have in mind a species you think it is then it's easier to be convinced about this
Hope that makes sense |

Thank you all - must try again tomorrow and get a dorsal view. Had a thunderstorm and had to rush in this afternoon, so hope it hasn't got washed away!
