Gavin Gamble’s e-petition calling for a ban on driven grouse shooting ends on Monday 2 April.
How many signatures do you think it will achieve?
I’ll happily send a signed, hardback copy of Remarkable Birds, or of Fighting for Birds if you prefer, to you or a named recipient in the UK if you come closest to estimating the final signature count (which may be reached before 2 April if a snap general election is called (unlikely I know) or may be a day or two after 2 April depending on how the people running the website play the ‘clicking on the confirmation emails’ game).
How to enter this ‘really just for fun’ game: send a comment to this post naming your total (only one go per email address). None of the comments will be published until after I get home from Thetford on Thursday evening (which will probably be after 11pm).
Note added 6pm Wednesday: 14 estimates to date.

I mean 42334
40,040
I reckon 38012
45,217
I’d love to make it higher, but I’m going for 42,573. And I think I’m being optimistic.
51,345
61,255 is my estimate for the closing total
42,876
Inspired by Douglas Adams I’m going to guess 42,042.
43,527 – but hopefully I’m under by 56,473
71,604
Well I won it last time with a guess of 33133 … so keeping it symmetric with a guess this time at 55155
Here is my best guess for the number of signatures: 42,073
47574. Hope I’m wrong and it’s lot more.
39,987
Nick Brown, Derbys.
