I am near the south coast(UK) and we see lots of Goldfinches when the thistles seed (that's obviously not this time of year), so I would guess that thistle seeds would be an attraction to goldfinches in the UK. I did not know that you can buy it. I will get some to try, even though the goldfinches do eat some of the other food, with specialised feeding we may help more of them in winter....and have the pleasure of seeing more,,,Posie...
