They don't come much better than this. That last shot is a corker.

fantastic! can't believe that this spider isn't heavy enough to break the surface tension of the pond.

Brilliant - he looks too heavy to be supported by surface tension.

Never seen shots of this before.

Great shots, super spider, love the close-ups. It is the one thing I never found that I was looking for when I visited Whixall earlier in the year.
