    Good photos there Louise, they are an unusual looking spider, think we have one in the garden at the moment, will go and check if it is.

    What a lot of work that has been for her!

    It's amazing what Nature's little workers can do, isn't it?

    Great record, Louise. Now you need to keep watching it - and take pics as they leave the nest!

    Unfortunately Catherine, this photo was taken a few weeks ago and I did try and keep an eye on them, but despite there being loads of webs in the field I didn't spot a single baby.
