    When the seagulls fly out early and far to sea we will have fine weather
    If the clouds break up and move to the west at sunrise a fine day will follow.
    When sheep are lying peacefully early in the morning it is the sign of a fine day.
    If grazing at the same hour rain will fall about midday.
    When the ducks are quacking loudly it is a sign of rain.
    A rainbow in the evening extending from the northeast to southwest is a sign of rain.
    If the sky is very red to the east at sunset a strong wind may be expected.
