User's notes

The green spider was around 6 mm in overall length and sighted on one of ANBG's information signs. At the lower right-hand side of the first two images there is an even smaller orange coloured spider.

I think this is an Araneus in the species-group that includes Araneus circulissparsus, A. ginninderranus and A. psittacinus.
