Possibly a 'Diadem' spider - you need to see its back to be sure....
Yes it could well be that. Thanks.

It looks like a Cross Orb Weaver, have a look on google.
Thanks. Isn't that another name for the 'Diadem' (Araneus diadematus)?

Here is an absolute monster - compare it to the size of the wasp - its fangs were a good 2mm long. The wasp's undoing was trying to steal a freshly caught greenbottle (just visible) from the web. It hadn't reckoned on the size and speed of the owner !

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
