Many thanks Tukup, I agree with you
Hi Zlatan. This looks like a Four spot orb weaver (Araneus quadratus). I am not sure enough to make a formal "suggestion" but it looks right.

I see by the pictures at the bottom ot the following link that there is a lot of variation in coloration, as is the case with many orb weavers.
