Hi 
The first is a Grey Wagtail (I think a female).
Not sure about the second. I saw a Cormorant recently that looked like that, but I really wouldn't like to say 
Hopefully someone will be able to ID it for you.
EDIT Just enlarged the second (why do I always forget to do that  ) and yes, it could well be a Cormorant.

Here are some links to Comorant Pictures, its up to you to decide really http://www.zoocheck.com/cdiwebsite/cormorant_flying.jpg http://pi.library.yorku.ca/dspace/bi...pg.preview.jpg

That was really quick, thank you, I had a vague idea about the cormorant, but no idea about the wagtail. |

grey wagtails are lovely little birds, they are fairly common, but you nearly always only see them near water

I used to think that squishy, but I believe they are fairly common in town centres and on buildings with flat rooves in autumn and winter. More Grey Wagtails this year?
