- People say if crows fly high, good weather is at hand, and that if a mist appears on the tops of mountains rain is sure to follow; that if black beetles, locally known as clock, are running on the ground that rain is also approaching; that frogs get black when rain is coming, that the donkey puts his back to ditch; that swallows fly low, and that the birds gather together and chatter when a storm is coming. Curlews fly against the wind,and crane swim against the current when a storm is approaching.
