I think these are a willow emerald damselfly and a fem. blue-tailed. The former would be a new one for me if confirmed. Thanks.

Second one looks like an infuscans form female Blue-tailed, to me. I'd expect to see the 8th segment of the abdomen a bit more distinctly coloured, but it's got the two-toned wing spots and the right markings on the thorax.
