When the swallows fly low.
When a dog eats grass.
When frogs turn black.

When he crows sit on the bank of a river.
When the sheep are up grazing early in the morning.
When the midges begin to bite very hard.
When the horse flies sting.

When the Dublin red is up in the morning.
When the crickets sing very loudly.Signs of Hard Weather:-
When blackbirds eat berries of an elder tree.
When a circle is far away from the moon.
