By the way, I did include the date of sighting and a grid reference (admittedly 4 figure only) with my record.
thanks for I.D.-ing my Harvestman.....when is a spider not a spider? When he is a harvestman. I will have to take more interest in these creatures, especially as my old stone cottage is literally infested with them......big ones, small ones, some as big as your head....
Thanks again.

I do not know how to add a better photo, sorry, I'm new to this and getting confused, but a full size photo is available under "My Stuff". Can anyone tell me how to add a photo please? Thanks.
North Wales, CH74NZ, in the countryside surrounded by farm land.
Photo taken on 14/09/2017. HP13 6BQ
Thank you.
Looks brownish/cream in the photos but looked more blackish/cream in real life.
No sign of web: found on wooden facings of a nature hide. hopefully details are attached to the photo.
Only one I could find close was a False Widow spider but this was a small chap.
Didn't have my macro lens with me so pics not as good as they might have been: hopefully still enough to aid ID.
Thanks in anticipation !
UPDATE: 13/9/17 actually I think one of my friends ID's it as a Walnut Orbweb Spider (Nuctenea umbratica)
We had our garage roof replaced around a year ago and the two guys replacing it said they had found and caught a false widow. How much they knew about spiders I cannot comment. I didn't see it so cannot confirm what it looked like. I live in North Wales, LL19 post code which looks to be quite far north for this type of spider.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
