The yellow triangle shape on the underside of the thorax shows it is plumipes, not edulis - good that you included a shot from the under side. It's usually easy to walk round to the other side of the web to get one with these guys, who are pretty cooperative photo subjects.

Thanks, Jackie. When looking at the spider I wasn’t sure about the yellow triangle but know the importance of the underside to help ID.
