   Some say the crows are great weather prophets while others can know the sort of weather we will have by signs observed in the sky. Take for instance the crows, when you see the crows soaring up in the air it is a very good sign of wind and if they go up very high it is a sign of good weather. The curlews are another good sign of the weather but they stay mostly to the sea and are a great guide to ships and to people travelling on sea.

   The sun moon and stars are also good signs. If the sun sets into a cloud in the evening it is a sure sign of bad weather and if it sets into a bright red sky it is a sign of fine weather. If there is a circle round the moon it is a good sign of rain. Some say if you have a Saturday moon, bad weather is sure to follow, there is an old saying which says, "Saturday moon is enough in seven years." When the sky is covered with glittering stars it is sure to freeze. A rainbow in the sky denotes unsettled weather and there is a saying that "A rainbow in the morning is the sheperd's warning and a rainbow at night is the sheperds delight." If the wind blows from the north it is a sign of bad cold weather, "North wind doth blow or we shall have snow",
