StevenB Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 569 now.Nearest competitor =450 The response to our requests for help from friends, family & the wider circle of social media friends of friends etc has been quite humbling this week. As long as none of the other contenders launch a similar campaign, we'll be okay, but I'm certainly not counting my chickens yet - we were over 100 behind before we started the big push for votes, and I never expected it would go this well! Thanks to you, one & all #VotePuffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'll vote again if Stevenb can tell me the air-speed velocity of an unladen puffin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 i love the droplets of water on the puffins head & the blueness of the water. there's many a professional wildlife photographer that would have struggled to get that picture.

StevenB Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'll vote again if Stevenb can tell me the air-speed velocity of an unladen puffin? I've always believed that drag co-efficient is a more telling statistic, particularly for a Puffin. Generally, this is around 0.35. If you really want to know the air speed velocity (and by unladen I presume one that has just had a dump?), then I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was usually between 25 & 36, depending on age, time of year & phase of the moon.

Gray Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 By unladen I mean the amount of food it may be carrying... A puffin can fly 48 to 55 mph (77 to 88 km/hr)... Less if it is carrying a beak full of fish which could cause drag... I have no idea what I am talking about.. I'm not Bill Oddie FFS although my wife tells me I look like him which I strenuously deny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkD Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 There's a risk he might get disqualified if people keep voting using the same IP address or they would at least discount the extra votes from the same address at the end of the vote. Presuming of course that they are bothering to log the IP address of each vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Don't say that. Me and Hibs were hoping for a 2 night break for 576 on a B&B basis at Samson Hill Cottage with 576 return tickets on the Scillonian III passenger ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
