Hi Tormentil,
I dont know properly, but 1 is looking like a Crambus spp and 2 is a type of plume moth.
Hope that helps a little. 
Ken

No.1 is a micro moth. Possibly a Crambid or (less likely from the pic) a Tortricid
No.2 is Platyptilia gonodactyla - a type of plume moth of the family Pterophoridae
Cheers,

Thanks guys.
If it helps #1 was taken in the meadow at Titley Pool NR, Herefordshire and #2 at Little Scrubbs Meadow, Chambers Wood, Lincs. Although I presume both are widespread throughout the UK ? |

Do you have another angle shot of the first one, T?

I did, but ditched it due to a bit of wind shake blurring it. Sorry. |

The first one is Bactra lancealana/lacteana. |

I'm not saying you're wrong, but what about the lack of two dark markings on the wings?

It's a very variable species (or species pair)! | | |
