Going by the eye arrangement and the posture of the spider I would say this looks like a juvenile Tetragnatha sp.
Cheers. Nik.

For some reason I am not able to edit my previous post but I would like to move the word 'juvenile' to the end of the sentence and put it in brackets along with the word 'possibly'.

Hi there. This is a Metellina species, either M. mengei, or M. segmentata. Given the time of year, M. mengei is more likely.

Well, thenk you all for replying  . A special thanks to frits_b for the ID which looks to be correct from the comparisons I have done with the M. mengei on the web. I always find that spiders are a challenge for me that I rarely get right  .
