Since the French have obviously lost control of Calais (Report, 25 July), isn't it time they handed it back to the British?

" Please check a bird book before you write about these non-existent birds ( The mystery of the poisoned seagull, 25 July; Report, 21 July). You will not find them in any index. They're collectively known as gulls, and there are six species normally found in the UK. Three are large - the great black-backed, lesser black-backed and herring gulls, which are usually the troublemakers; the others are the black-headed, the common and the beautiful kittiwake, but none of them are seagulls.
