- (continued from previous page)When the curlew is heard whistling, it is said that he is calling for rain
- When you see the crows flying low there is going to be a storm
- If swallows fly low it is a sign of rain.
If the swallows come back early it is a sign of a good summer.
If the swallows leave early it is the sign of a hard Winter.- Collector
