    Rooks are very restless when a wet day is coming; they fly about uneasily on the tree tops.
    2 Swallows
    When swallows fly low it is the sign of bad weather.
    3 Sheep
    Sheep aways crowd to the lee side of a hill before the approach of bad weather.
    4 Hills
    When the distant hills seem to be very near it is the sign of bad weather.
    5 The Cat
    When the cat is seen scraping wood it is a sign of bad weather.
