Whatever the merits of Charles Parton’s China strategy (“In the hawk-dove ornithology of China policy, consider the drongo”, Opinion, December 28), his presentation on ornithology is a little skewed. Drongos are not the only birds that protect their young; the doves and hawks he decries do so too. If Parton is in any doubt, I suggest he tries walking by a goshawk nest when the nesting season comes.
