ID anyone? It was half the size of my hand and fast!

Rain spider / Huntsman maybe?

Ah yes, it does appear to be a huntsman. Thanks

Wonderfully sharp! Lovely image

Scary!

That is a very nice macro and using the 35mm very much up close and personal, glad he/she obliged and sat quiet long enough, or was it a case you tired it out first.

Thanks guys.
Oh he ran at me a couple of times I realised the ol' reactions are still there I can tell you. No idea at that point if it was dangerous. I assumed he wasn't interested in me, so I got as close as poss, but that didn't stop me jumping like a little girl when it moved lol (I didn't actually scream, honest)

We get his big cousin here.
Nice shot, fine detail.

I'd have stomped on it......would a squished spider made as nice a picture? lol

Andy!
When I rescue my daughter from spiders in her bedroom, I secretly release them indoors again. on a pot plant or something. Don't tell her
Don, thanks, I need to come and visit

Oooh that's a Beastie - nice shots

There is such a thing as a rain spider I thought we would know about them here in Wales
