Field Notes

Description:

Clearing a load of rubbish which has been there for years, we disturbed this large spider in a well-built nest, guarding its eggs. This was the only picture I could get of it.

Thanks, KarenL. :) I've added a second picture which has been lightened, if that makes it clearer?
KarenL
Very cool! If you are able to lighten the photo a little it would help us to ID it for you.
