  1. When you hear the curlew.
    When the swallows fly low.
    When there is a ring round the moon.
    When you see soot falling from the chimney.
    If rain comes with the moon it is going to bad weather for the quarter the moon is with us.
    When a cat washes her face on a dry day.
    When a dog eats grass.
    When a cock crows on a nice day.
    When you see goats high up on rocks.
    When seagulls are flying high.
