- (continued from previous page)the robin's eggs are brown.
Weather can be judged by the flight of the birds. The wild goose flying inland and the loud cry of the curlew are signs of bad weather.
The reason that the robin has a red breast is when Our Lord was being crucified, the robin was taking the thorns off Our Lord's Head, so a spot of blood went on the robin's chest and it is there ever since.
Before the swallows go away to a warm country they have great talk with one another. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
