    When the Plibins come from the field after tearing the clay in the fields it is a sign of rain.
    The Robin got his red breast when he got it covered with blood when pulling the nails out of the Cross.
    When the frogs turn black it is a sign of rain.
    If a snail cross the road it is a sign of rain.
    It is a sign of rain to see the starlings collecting to houses.
