Could someone help me with these please. Both look distinctive, but I'm struggling with my books.
Thanks, Chris

Agree both look distinctive. Can't place 1 but looks familiar. The second you may have struggled with as it's a micro (a larger one!- so possibly not in your books if they only cover macros. It's Anania coronata, one I have recorded in my garden. A close relative of the Small Magpie, in the same genus.

Is the first one possibly a Light Brocade?

Great, thanks lads. Light brocade looks good and my book describes it as local up North, so even better! The A. coronata was resting right next to a small magpie and I thought they had a lot of shared characteristics.
Regards, Chris
