Just guessing, based on the shape of the keels and wing lengths.
First specimen, Common Green Grasshopper.
Second, Meadow Grasshopper male (with long wings).
But grasshoppers are very variable so these are just guesses and not firm identifications. |

The Field should have a costal bulge, which this one does not appear to have. Unless someone can point this out on the second picture (which is an excellent shot Ollie) I am not convinced.
