This afternoon the sun glinted on a tangle of fresh spiderwebs on my fencepost and on closer inspection I found a freshly hatched group of English Garden Spiders (Araneus diadematus). These spiders are one of the most common "orb weavers" and the adults are usually brown in colour. Read more at Nick's Spiders.
