Nice capture,! Were you active looking for him or was it a surprise? Are they common in your area?

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Not actively looking as the spider is usually just outside the window from where my computer is setup.
They are pretty common, there are usually a few in the yard most times, they are not really dangerous.
View from the near the computer chair.

On the other hand this bird is often also around in the garden very close to the spider location.

Superb Fairy Wren.
