    When there is a big circle around the Moon a storm is near but if the circle is small the storm is far off.
    When the Curlews go up to the fields from the bog the weather will be fine and when they go down to the bog it will be wet.
    If the swallows fly low there will be rain and if they fly high there will be fine weather.
