Default ID My Spider!

When I first saw the hole outside my house this morning, I thought it was a funnel web, so slightly disappointed to see this guy... I think it's a wolf spider.. Anyone got any opinions on it?
He's created a funnel around the top of his hole, which is slightly bigger than the size of a 50C piece...
He's non aggressive... but very good in front of the camera.

He's lovely .... not aggressive at all. Popped back down the hole if you get too close. Wouldn't have spotted it if it wasn't for the sun lighting up the dew on his web.

I believe if you have a small 4 yr old child, you get them to poke it with a stick. That would make anything aggressive.

Oh, don't worry. In the unlikely event you get bitten by one, you just ice it. Not poisonous. Very shy. Very photogenic.

You can tell Bozza a mile off, it's the way he holds his legs and his cheeky lop-sided grin.

I hate to tell you but it's a girl. Perhaps she has an identity crisis.
