- The Sky
A rainbow in the morning
When the sun rises a pale colour
Halo around the moon
When a new moon is on its back
When a star is near the moon
When the sky appears red early in the morning to the east, and colour disappears quicklyThe Winds.
If the wind veers against the sun
Wind form the South or south-west
When the wind whistles through the key-hole
Rain follows hard dry piercing winds
What the east dries it wetsThe Birds
Swallows fly low
Crows will not go far from their nests
Seagulls come inland
When seagulls perch on the ground
The curlew has a peculiar cry or a high pitched note.
When the crane and kingfisher pay long visits to the stream.(continues on next page)
