I am at a disadvantage when it comes to identifying European beetles, but I am not convinced that this is an Alder Leaf Beetle, which is still quite rare in Britain. I am always suspicious of internet sources and always choose a good textbook by a reputable expert before making the call. Was there any sign of leaf damage on nearby alder trees?
Are those raindrops transparent?
