    Bad Weather: Wild geese fly South Curlews calling on the March Plover not easily frightened. Crows repairing their nests in winter Horses drowsey; Dogs eat grass, Cats sit with backs to the fire. Gnats plentiful The Galtees looking down. Smoke rising crooked from a chimney.
    Good Weather: Wild geese fly North. Crows fly high. Smoke rising straight from a chimney. A fog rising from the marsh at night. The robin sings on a high bush.
