_Weather Predictions_ (Vol. viii., p. 218. &c.).--The following is a
Worcestershire saying:
"When Bredon Hill puts on his hat,
Ye men of the vale, beware of that."
Similar to this is a saying I have heard in the northern part of
Northumberland:
"When Cheevyut (_i. e._ the Cheviot Hills) ye see put on his cap,
Of rain ye'll have a wee bit drap."
There is a saying very common in many parts of Huntingdonshire, that when
the woodpeckers are much heard, rain is sure to follow.
