Improving your sense of smell.

I have detected dog, cat, fox, brushtailed possum and flying fox by the odours they give off. Apparently it is possible to train your sense of smell mainly by being attentive to familiar and unfamiliar odours as you go through your day. Here are a few other tips.....

The thing I always pick up be smell is bee hives !

I have tried to sniff out critters and occasionally can smell "something", but to know which critter is a major achievement.
Den areas are good to smell if you find one. I guess starting with the family pet is a good start too.

Thanks H

Yes Aussie, bees too I should have on my list above.
I like to crush a few leaves of plants as I go too, its amazing how different some smell.
As far a dogs go it is good to watch what they stop and smell and how interested they are in certain spots, their
'smell world' must be vast.
