Bilberry Rock is a cliff overlooking the city centre in my home town of Waterford, Ireland. Living on the cliff are a herd of feral goats, brought over 400 years ago by the Huguenots.
From an Irish Times article on the goats (now archived):
“The goats stand facing the wind, fill their lungs to capacity, and then  urinate on to their own faces and noses before exhaling a scent called  “the love potion” to attract females. The scent, which can travel up to  six miles, is “better than any after-shave and while it may not smell  good, it’s a great aphrodisiac.”
