We shall have weather thick and thin;
But if the hen moult before the cock,
We shall have weather hard as a block.
If the cock crows more than usual or earlier, expect rain.
Cormorants.
When cormorants fly from the sea and sea fowls seek their prey in pools or ponds, expect wind.
Cranes.
If cranes appear early in the autumn, expect a severe winter.
There will be no rain the day the crane flies down the creek.
When cranes make a great noise or scream, expect rain.
