Maybe 5-7mm
First 1 had purple head, brown centre, & green tail (which on zoom, had a fine purple stripe. Very pretty, sparkling in sunlight. Seemed to be in a fight with a tiny brown ant of maybe 1 or 2mm (1 pic you can see its head).
Other few ants in there, i saw, had purple & green in various places in different ways to the first.

Thanks for the descriptions Tmac - the little ant is probably Pheidole. Cheers, Jon
