Description

(I think this is a Garden Orb Web Spider, Eriophora pustulosa?)

Walked outside last Fri morn and this red-legged beastie was racing around building a web as fast as possible. Highest point was the house gutter, lowest point a branch low to the ground. Once the job was finished, the spider curled up in the centre and instantly all that directed energy became as still as an ancient stone. Couldn't take the underside as that was directly into the sun, but the red legs are clearly visible and clearly "hair" on them. If someone could identify it for me, that would be great, thank you.
