Green Finches

It's only the 1st November... I've had green finches visiting the peanut feeder already. They don't usually arrive until mid-December/ early January.

Are we due a bad winter or what? A friend of mine has an idea though, that due to the building work around Dublin there are less derilict sites which host teasle weeds etc., thus forcing the finches to resort to feeders earlier.

Anybody any ideas/comments?

Live in a semi rural area and have Green Finches all year round on my feeders, adults and young, they are the stable diet for our resident Sparrow Hawk, don't know why she always takes the finches, but it could be that they remain feeding when the Sparrows and others have already fled, leaving the finches looking around to see what's going on.
