The results are in; see what the RSPB has to say!
"For the first time in the survey's 30-year history, the long-tailed tit has flown into the Big Garden Birdwatch top ten. This highly sociable species increased by an astonishing 88% from last years count. We believe this pleasant increase is because this insect-eating bird has adapted to feeding on seeds and peanuts at birdtables and from hanging feeders. This result highlights perfectly the positive impact that our feeding and bird care can have on some birds."
The 2009 garden top ten looks like this:
1 house sparrow
2 starling
3 blackbird
4 blue tit
5 chaffinch
6 woodpigeon
7 collared dove
8 great tit
9 robin
10 long-tailed tit
