US scientists say tracking data showing five golden-winged warblers left their nesting site a day a tornado outbreak suggests the birds "heard it coming".

Geolocators showed the birds, which had just finished a 5,000km migration, left the Appalachians and flew 700km (400 miles) south to the Gulf of Mexico.

The next day the deadly April 2014 tornadoes swept across the central US.

My dog knows a storm is coming before I do, and I've learned to understand that he is telling me. He only knows maybe an hour before I do though, not a whole day!

I'm a sucker for these 'sixth sense' stories about animals and birds, pets or otherwise.

How does your dog communicate this insight?

He doesn't like storms and gets anxious. There's a pattern to how he comes to me and behaves which is very recognisable.
