   The (weather) weather is often judged by the behaviour of the swallow & the martin. They go low and skim the water when we are going to have bad weather but soar high into the clouds when we are to have good weather. The also fly low when they try to catch flies. When the sea-gull comes inland it is a sign of rain as it usually stays on the shore such as BallyBunion, Dingle bay, etc;
