The long-tailed tit, one of the the UK's smallest birds, has emerged as a surprise success - discovered by over half a million birdwatchers taking part in this year's RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch.
The survey this January involved a record 552,000 participants across the UK, who counted a total of 8.5 million birds featuring 73 different species.
The long-tailed tit rose from 14th to 10th place with numbers up a staggering 89% on 2008. At 14cm long, and weighing little more than a 50 pence coin, the long-tailed tit suffers badly from freezing weather. From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s a series of bitter winters saw the population plummet, but a long run of mild winters has brough the species into the top ten garden birds for the first time.
Here's all the data, with results by county and by UK country. Find out what's happened to robins and starlings too.
