Private property. No public access without permission. I have had a close look at the facial markings (and size) and it looks like the same monitor as in sightings 4357108 and 4352303.

It is definitely the same one as 4352303 but 4357108 is the left face and there are several differences to these images of the right face. The differences are probably just the normal variation between left and right that we almost always see, but it seems impossible to be sure, just from the face photos.

Thanks Don. I also politely request them to show both sides each time but they don't always listen. ;)
