I wonder if the first one could be Blastodacna hellerella / atra? and the other maybe Gypsonoma dealbana?
Great call Rosaria, UK moths notes re atra 'They closely resemble B. hellerella, but generally are darker overall, with hellerella having a more "pied" appearance.' I think that based on that, mine is probably hellerella.

On the second, I was considering Epiblema scutulana but for such a fresh moth, I'd expect to see the tuft?
