Birdwatching in the garden

I have a question. When I was a child we often had greenfinches in our garden but I haven't seen as any for years. Does anyone get greenfinches visiting their garden?

I wondered that recently as well. Turns out there's been a decline in their population as well as chaffinches:

Goldfinches seem to be the most common of the finches that I've seen recently. I hear and see them flying around all the time, yet to tempt them in to the garden though. I've planted some teasels in the hope they'll like those and got a nyger feeder, so we'll see whether that works.

Yes that's interesting as Chaffinches used to be common and again I haven't seen one for a while.
