- When the swallows are flying low it is a sign of bad weather.
When they are flying high it is a sign of good weather.
When the sun goes down red it is a sign of good weather; but when the sun rises red it is a sign of bad weather.
Evenings red and mornings grey,
Set the traveller on his way,
Evenings grey and mornings red,
Pour down rain on the traveller's head.
When the sparrows are hopping on the road it is a sign of bad weather. - Collector
