    Noticed it quite a bit in America (they seem a lot more common in the South). Quite often had that really rank smell (you WILL know it if you ever come across it) and it takes a few minutes to clear your nostrils if you catch wind of it.

    I believe tomato juice is the preferred method of neutralizing the smell.

    As far from the sea as we could be, except when we can actually get in it.

    Well maybe, they do dig up the lawn a lot. 15 years or so ago we had a family in a set under a cedar tree, we are an oasis and wild life corridor but with about 3/4 acre in the middle of a well developed residential area. I filled it in when the family departed and old brock died (smelt a bit). Over the last year there has been increasing activity with the old set being re excavated. The camera trap I have set up eventually showed two in the same video, grooming.
