Finally managed a day out with the camera, so I went to the quite remote north end of the island to search for insects. This spider, about the size of my thumb, was quite high up on the moor, any ideas as to ID would be appreciated.

It's an interesting looking spider having a meal. My complain is those blobs of different colour in upper and lower part of the photo.
Cheers,
Marko

Araneus quadratus, female. Males are less clearly marked, can be a variety of shades, greens, browns, yellows, only the brown ones have the four clearly marked spots tho.

Is it just me or is there a lot of noise in this image - especially in the bottom half of the shot..

Thanks for the comments guys.
Marko, I couldn't do much about the BG as I was lying flat on the ground as it was!
Andrew, thanks very much for the ID.
Chas, no noise on the original, but I suspect it is as a result of the digimarc and web presentation.
