Hi @RodDeb, thanks for your sighting. It looks like the location information you provided is incorrect. This can occur if the GPS sensor in your device was having a bad day. Please review and update the location of this record when you get a chance.

Hi @MatthewFrawley, we were outside the fence when we took the photo. The trees shown on the older map have not been there for several years, they have planted new ones but they are not very big at present. If you pull the map back it will show how it looks.
