    1. When a corncrake flies over the house it is a sign that the rain is coming and that she is helping to gather all things to shelter.
    2. When the storm is coming all the animals look for shelter under trees.
    3. It is a sign of a wet day if the hens go plucking and it is raining but if they stay in shelter, it is a sign that the day will dry up.
