Don't be frightened.
It's mating season - for skunks.
Living in the forest and driving round areas where there is an abundance of open space (fields, meadows and the like), there's been malodorous as well as physical evidence of skunks running amuck.
Unfortunately, much of that skunk presence is in the form of road kill and the resulting mouffette eau de parfum.
Watch out for the amorous striped-back ones whilst driving down the road. I've developed a newfound appreciation for the little critters since reading this article. They may be stinky - but in the bigger scheme of things, they're mighty helpful.
