Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) 2023-09-21. Aberkenfig, South Wales.

One of the many resident spiders in my garden. Also known as the Cross orb-weaver, Diadem spider, Cross spider and Crowned orb-weaver.

 

A pretty reasonable outcome using a compact camera and a little post processing help from Adobe Lightroom.

 

Best viewed in expanded mode.
