I think it's a capercaillie and not a black grouse

We also thought that it is a capercaillie. But there was no red spot on the head, which capercaillies have.

Hi @darinka, I would also say it's a capercaillie, young rooster and doesn't have black color yet and characteristic curved tail feathers. The red comb it will get in spring when mating time comes. Nice pictures, good luck

Yes that's how it is during courtship.

Because it didn't let me rest, I sent pictures of rooster or capercaillie to a hunter. And he wrote it's 100 percent black grouse. From Porezen.

Ha ha, julika and pikica 1 almost convinced Renatota that it really is a capercaillie. And he was so sure that he saw a black grouse on Porezen.

Super that you asked around a bit. I was counting on @ornitologa to chime in and share his opinion. Looks like he doesn't check this forum anymore

pikica and julika are right. I asked an ornithologist. And he wrote to me that it's definitely a black grouse, due to the tail shape, size and beak coloration. (capercaillie has a light beak). And especially because of the white stripe in the wing, which capercaillie doesn't have. Also this habitat isn't suitable for capercaillie. Quite atypical that it would wait for photographing, unless hormonally disturbed males; capercaillies are extremely shy. He also added that someone told him black grouse disappeared from Porezen years ago. Thanks Mitja Denac.

Today I was heading to Kojca, but the above post by ljubitelj gora tempted me. Started from Vrh Ravni above Jesenice. Path via planina Otavnik is nicely passable. Where there was snow it didn't break through. But very little on the path. Here and there a drift and last half hour to the top. Not icy though. But true, only until tomorrow, then new shipment comes. Hut was even open and quite visited. When visiting Porezen worth checking the hut, if some PD Cerkno member comes around, can enter and warm up. At Vrh Ravni, starting point for Kojca and Porezen, municipality Cerkno excellently arranged parking this year. Since mayor has ear for hikers too, we trust him at least one more term.

To defend the forecasters a bit: the weather forecast for Sunday was that it would cloud over on the west, especially in the hilly world of the Primorska Prealps, already early in the morning, while on the east that would happen by noon. So, no hard feelings, but @ločanka, the forecasters weren't wrong, you just went to the wrong mountain
