Tetragnatha sp.
This long-jawed spider was about 11mm long. It was stretched out at the centre of its web looking very much like a small twig (pic 1). When the web was disturbed it spread out and curled itself as in pic 3.
Spotted on an outer building wall.
They prey on small arthropods.
here's some more information on these spiders:
