The spider was sitting at the end of a string of debris in a web that had many strands and stretched from head height to ground level. There were small white blobs at intervals along some strands which can be seen in image 5

I'm not at all sure that this is a Nephila. Possibly a male and/or juvenile. Any other ideas?

Not an ID that had occurred to me, but it does look very like sighting 3368408.
