05.10. On an October Wednesday, when we hoped the sun would wait for us at the top. Hope dies last. The whole way from Podbrdo, we walked in grayness. On a longer path past hamlets. Where we found some boletus along the way. No excessive steepness. Except the last part to the top. Where we meet a guy descending. He's surprised to meet us, because as he says he hasn't met anyone on this path yet. There are many paths to Porezen. We chose the longer one. We had enough time until the train arrival. Because we descended to Hudojužna. And towards the top, it started to open up. More and more. Pure whiteness all around. The Julian Alps peeked out. The sun warmed us for quite a while. As if the sky decided to gift us autumn rays. Then we decide to see the cavern right below the summit, fog and clouds crept in again. Lower under the path we spot a black grouse, which sat on a branch in the bush for quite a while. Then it flew away. We then down the really steep path to Hudojužna, where apparently runners run. I can't even imagine that steepness. We walked 18km and did 1250m elevation. Not so little for Porezen, which isn't exactly a high peak.

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 nasmeh

julika and pikica 1 thanks for the explanation. Maybe yes, because it was young, stayed longer on the branch. Nice to watch him. nasmehnasmehWe stick with black grouse. Renato sent me the picture. Similarity is obvious.

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. nasmeh 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.

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. nasmeh

From Zg.Davča to Porezen. Snow starts at the starting point, took crampons with me too. Higher up, crust that broke through, sometimes not. Wasn't cold, met no one. Sat on the bench in the shelter and waited for sunset. But since horizons were even nicer, didn't hurry with descent.

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.

Porezen showed itself in true winter idyll after many years. Powder snow from summit to start at Jurež, some sun with cold wind on upper slope, fog in forest and under gray sky in Davča. Recommend the tour. Many touring skiers and hikers. More at: https://www.gore-ljudje.si/Kategorije/Novosti/porezen-42

Yesterday a hike was organized (also on Saturday) and since nicer weather was forecast for Sunday, we chose yesterday. Well, forecasters were wrong, but we weren'tnasmeh. It was very interesting, because we chose yet another circular connection.
We started a bit above Petrov breg, return from the summit towards homestead Jurež, but descended a bit before it down the slope towards Majdelc and then past Podhočar to the start. In between we stopped at an interesting viewpoint with bench and chapel, which had been bugging me for long where it actually is. Well, yesterday the riddle was solvednasmeh.

At the hut accidental meeting with Tonet, who waited for the celebration at 11 at summit before monument. Also PD Trst were up there.

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 velik nasmeh
