It looks like a 'Nursery Web Spider'...I had one in my garden and Muddy named it for me...these are friendly creatures...:>)

Shield beetle maybe?

thanks for your suggestions, it was quite large maybe 2-3 inches long, and plain brown no markings anywhere on it, definitely a beetle...

Wonder if its a cockchafers, Melolontha, I had some thing simular to this on my fence but it was a mole cricket as it was making a clicking sound other than the cockchafer, a mole beetle.
