User's notes

Thanks to Tim L (sighting 4229725), I now have a name for these spiky egg sacs that were hanging from the eaves. And the spider was actually in the original photo, but I didn't notice it (I wish I had got out the ladder at the time!). Image 1 taken 2 January, and images 2 and 3 taken 29 April.
