- (continued from previous page)Ducks. When the ducks quack loudly it is the sign of rain.
Peacocks. When the peacocks cry and run for shelter tis the sign of rain too.
Cricket. It is a sign of rain to hear the cricket singing.
Wild geese. When the wildgeese fly in the shape of a "W" it is the sign of good weather but when they fly in the"V" it is the sign of bad weather.
They say around here when there's a fog in Slieve Felim throw out no hay but when there's a fog in the valley we can expect a fine day.
