Beschreibung
Kagsmosen is a small protected bog that is squeezed inside by the motorway and buildings. In the 19th century, the swampy and difficult-to-penetrate area was part of the large fortification that encircled Copenhagen with Vestvolden, Utterslev Mose and the defense batteries in the north. Vestvolden lost its significance from 1920 and in 1939 they began to make Kagsmosen more audience-friendly and built paths. The area is now laid out as a park but has retained its character of bog with several peat digging lakes and canals. In certain areas, nature care is carried out for the benefit of animals and plants. Breeding waterfowl include Zwergtaucher, Rothalstaucher, Höckerschwan, Graugans, Teichhuhn and Bläßhuhn. The area also houses breeding Buntspecht, Schwanzmeise, Wacholderdrossel and Sprosser as well as many songbirds, including Teichrohrsänger and Sumpfrohrsänger. In previous years, the relatively rare Beutelmeise has bred in the bog. Gartenbaumläufer has been found breeding since 2012. Mäusebussard and Rohrweihe breed in certain years. On Vestvolden up to the bog or in the bog itself, Sperber often breed.
Kagsmosen is also an excellent bird area for resting and migrating birds. Many ducks, geese and Krickente, Löffelente, Reiherente and Tafelente can be seen and many of birds of prey. Especially Mäusebussard and also Wespenbussard, and occasionally Rotmilan, Habicht, Raufußbussard, Seeadler, Fischadler and Kornweihe. Kranich annually pass the bog. In addition, many species of waders, larks, swallows, pipers, thrushes, songbirds and finches migrate through the area. The winter season often offers a lot of ducks and Singschwan, as well as occasionally Gänsesäger, herons, raptors and waterfowl. Apart from many different passerines, it is sometimes possible to see Wasseramsel and in certain years flocks of invading Seidenschwanz. A few years ago Gartenbaumläufer started to overwinter here. Eisvogel is a seldom but regular guest in the area.
In winter, you can visit the nearby locality Harrestrup Å, Islev (Marked with a star on the map), where especially the stretch between Brunevang and the motorway can show both Eisvogel, Wasseramsel and Gebirgsstelze.
