Another change of scene. Today, the scene shifted to the Keavil House Hotel.
Dr Gilchrist, Babcock's witness for ecology and designated sites, was in the hot seat all day. (His reappearance followed the cessation of his cross-examination last week in order for discrepancies in the bird survey figures to be resolved.) He was led in evidence to explain why the figures had gone awry, and then cross-examined at length by SNH. Beryl then did a brief but well-targeted cross examination on behalf of JAG. The Reporters followed with their own questions, and the Babcock QC finished off the day with 're-examination'.
Tomorrow will see the appearance of the final witness of the Inquiry. This is the ecology witness for SNH.
