Evening all.
I watched the 1st episode of Wilderness Walks with Ray Mears when it first aired on ITV a good few weeks ago. Not long after watching the episode I went out for a solo overnighter with my camera with the intention of capturing some good sunset shots. This didn't happen, however I did come accross what I believe is the Blue Ground Beetle which featured in the Ray Mears programme.
After a little research it seems that this beetle is rare, and known sightings in England are only in the South West. I live in the North West so, if possible I would like a second opinion. This is the link to google images:

Wilderness Walks is still on ITV player and you can see the beetle at approx 12 minutes 11 seconds.
and here are my pics:

Any help or opinions much appreciated.
