Wasp Spiders
There are lots of Grass Hoppers at Star Lane Pits. Wasp Spiders cast their webs in the dry grass close to the ground to catch them. I saw 3 spiders today, all within 1 meter of each other.

ABOUT
The Dartford Warbler is the blog of brothers, Matt and Paul Bruty, originally set up to share each others' birding exploits from Essex and the London area respectively. Paul now (from November 2008) writes from Australia. Reports from elsewhere will appear from time to time when we're lucky enough to get away.

I saw another 3 spiders in a different spot today. All close to each other again. I wonder if the hang out in 3s?
OK. They don't hang out in 3s. I saw 11 spiders (during my brief lunch break) today all fairly close to each other.
