    When sea-gulls are seen on a height is it a sign that rain is approaching. When you hear the curlew shrieking this is also a sign of rain. We are sure of rain if a cat sits with hear back to the fire and purrs. When the eastern part of the sky is red in the morning rain is sure to fall. when a circle appears around the moon that is also a bad sign.
