    some birds do. If the swallows fly low it is the sign of rain, if the seagull comes to the country it is the sign of a storm at sea. If the swallows gather together on wires or house tops we know that the Winter is coming. When we hear the cuckoo or the corncrake we know that the Summer is here.
