The exact type of Orb Weaver you consider common probably differs based on geography.
Try European garden spider instead.
I was just going on Stelly's description.
I'm pretty familiar with garden spiders as they've made some pretty awesome webs in my back garden and by the lights near the front door over the years.
I always leave them be and let them get on with it fwiw

Not seen one quite like the one in the OP though.
We had a huntsman living on our front door handle for a few days, we used the other door!
Arrgh! Those buggers move too damn quick and can be massive.
I'm sure you've seen the vids that that Aussie guy puts up of the ones in his house?
