So not a sense as such, just a range of behaviours that we have evolved to sub-conciously perform often in reaction to environmental queues (cues?) we have evolved to be able to automatically recognise.......

I agree to some point I know peoples senses can become honed and trained to recognise clues. For instance my kids eye sight are all way superior to mine. But I can stand on a bridge over a river with them and even if I point out the fish I can clearly make out on the bottom or among the weed it can take them ages to see them and sometimes not at all,,However I think there is more to it than that,
