where are the greenfinchs?

Hi pauwen,

What numbers of Greenfinches were you getting, to what you are now getting?

What is your surrounding habitat and are you rural or urban.

Although the majority of Greenfinches are resident some birds do migrate to continental Europe, so the birds that you see in your garden in Summer may not be the same as those in Winter. A lot of wintering Greenfinches arrive from Norway, some will stay and other will return back to Norway or other scandinavian countries.

Again the weather and food playing its part on the birds movements.

Localised migration can also occur as migration doesn't necessarily mean leaving this country.

You can have birds moving from the north to south, east to west. Urban to rural and vice versa etc.

I seen good numbers, but again it is all down to location and food.

Hope this helps Regards Buzzard
