Your welcome Paul. I see you've partially updated the spotting. It would be great if you could add the latin name as well, Araneus diadematus, to complete the spotting. Welcome to Project Noah.
Thank you much for for suggestion. I agree, it definitely looks like that spider.
Looks a bit like the European garden spider but not 100% sure.
