I agree with Lincs and Gill, although the Redpoll is more difficult I can just about make it out by enlarging it. Here is one I took of a Redpoll the other day and I'm just about sure that yours is a Redpoll as well

Is the second one possibly a Sisken?

My first thoughts were Sisken and Redpoll, but seen as Redpoll had already been mentioned I thought I'd put sisken  It looks to me like it has stripes on the chest and a dark coloured cap on its head.
