The cooler and damp mornings are allowing the spiders to show off their undoubted craftsmanship and skills and its great to see these seemingly flimsy webs that are actually incredibly strong. We've them on the car before and they've lasted all the way to Berkshire and back, a couple of hundred miles plus, so they are a lot stronger than you think. Scaled up to our size they'd make great rope but I wouldn't want to meet the spiders that had been responsible for them, I think we'd be the prey.
Anyway here's a fine example on display at dawn in our fig tree, just don't dream about giant spiders tonight.
