    If a flock of seagulls fly over the land it is a sign of a storm on the sea.
    If the smoke goes to the ground it is a sign of bad weather.
    When a flock of crows are together it is a sign of bad weather.
    If swallows are flying high it is a good sign.
    If the sun goes down very red in the west it is a sign of good weather.
    When the sea is black and rough it is the sign of bad weather.
