But mine always do that, at least the first of them in one particular spot do. And I think I can see others hereabouts starting to flower at much the same time. So when is genuinely early?

Harald-Alex, may be they are E. cilicica??

My winter aconites are also early this year, but I can never see buds before Christmas.

Some are just showing through nice old mulch:

Others are in nice buds:

I had difficulties in the very beginning to start winter aconites. I bought dried tubers a few times and despite soaking - no result, even one plant. Later I bought dormant, but fresh tubers from Shipton Bulbs and all grew well. Now I have multiple seedlings, also in the lawn. They are clearly at home here.
