  1. When hooded crows visit us in November, look out for a hard winter.
    When the robin sings at the top of the bush, you may count on the remainder of the day being fine.
    When at dusk red patches are scattered here and there through the clouds, strong winds may be expected before dawn.
    A year of sloes is a year of woes;
    A year without sloes gives corn to the crows.
