I think they are as described but I can be wrong ( more often wrong than right )

The 'Pyramidal' is a Common Spotted.

The other is a butterfly orchid but rather hard to tell which from your photograph. However it wouldn't surprise me if it was a Lesser.

The pollinia seem to be wide apart, so it's a Greater Butterfly.
