Just a bit of a guess, but it could be Notiophilus sp. but I haven't taken time to have a good look. |

This is definitely a ground beetle of the genus Notiophilus, and the most likely option is Notiophilus biguttatus, but there are several similar species in the genus.

Thanks for confirming what I thought it might be 
I've got a photo by my daughter of a similar looking beetle - which I'd been trying to ID, so nice to get it to genus at least.  |

Yes, that's also Notiophilus, nice picture . The tiger beetles are usually bigger (at least 1cm as opposed to about 0.5cm for Notiophilus).

Thankyou, your ID of Notiophilus makes me think it's Notiophilus biguttatus.
Does this look right to you? |

Does this look right to you? | It could be biguttatus, and probably is, but can't be certain from the photo, the differences between the species are small.
