The very first time I put a dish of Spike’s Dinner in my garden it took 4 minutes for it to be attacked! A hog appeared under the fence about 10 yards from the dish with its nose in the air, it had obviously smelt something new and tasty. It then made a beeline across the lawn straight to the dish. They have an incredible sense of smell. Once one has been then others will follow the scent trail and the food smell.

Well, that’s what it looks like anyway, I think my lot actually Whatsapp each other about new discoveries since they started pinching smartphones.
