At least two goldfinches in the oak tree by our small ponds late this morning, viewed from underneath the nut tree across the bit of lawn between. One sighting of one bird and a second sighting, perhaps half an hour later, of two birds, much higher up in the tree. They looked to be grazing on the small bugs - aphids? - which are no doubt to be found there.
The last confirmed tweet of a goldfinch was in December last year, noticed at reference 1, although there had been an unconfirmed tweet in March of this year.
