    Weather Lore
    When the sea gulls are seen coming from the water up on dry land it is the sign of bad weather.
    When the beak of a water hen turns yellow it is a sign of an early summer.
    When the snipe is heard humming up in the air it is a sign of wet weather.
    If it is raining and if the cattle turn their backs to it it is a sign that the weather will be bad.
    When a weather ? , much like a rainbow goes up half way the sky it a bad sign of the weather.
    If the rain comes from the East it is a sign that it will rain for four days.
