Cheers Graham.
I thought we only had green tiger beetles here, couldn't find any other colour in a search. My UK beetle app suggested the ID.

Great find and superb images, think it's prossibly Notiophilus biguttatus, a predator of springtails and other small invertibrates.
Excellent images. Good to see the context as well as the close up
