Spiders, hoverflies and Starlings!

This morning at the station I was checking the wall for spiders and found a Theridion sp., a small blackish spider with a pale pattern on its abdomen. I thought it might be an odd-looking Zygiella at first but the spider experts on Facebook put me right. Nearby a Myathropa florea hoverfly was on  Hogweed near the tracks and a Marmalade Hoverfly was basking on some Ivy. I could hear baby Starlings calling but couldn't  see them. Oh well, maybe tomorrow...
