Pseudeuophrys lanigera, as you ponted out to me elsewhere whilst I was making a meal of it and getting it wrong. Nice shot.

This I would like to have an ID for. It was much further out of its web/nest when I first saw it and retreated as I approached it.

This greenbottle hit the web a few seconds before this shot was taken I was lining up to shoot the dew on the web.

This was at an awkward angle so it was taken with live view and the screen tilted

Alf, your pale 4 spot spider isn't a 4 spot. It is a pale common garden spider, Araneus diadematus. Picture 3 is also a garden spider. The second one is a 4 spot, A. quadratus.

Great pictures of course, as they always are.
