Beschreibung
Utterslev Mose & Bispebjerg Kirkegård are easy accessible from central København (Copenhagen). The site consists of open shallow lakes with extensive reedbeds, surrounded by a mix of mown grass, shrubs, and woods. The Mose is divided by roads into 3 sections, Østmosen in the east, Midtmosen in the middle, and Vestmosen in the west. The lakes hold a large colony of Graugans, which are habituated to people so are very approachable. Most freshwater ducks occur in varying numbers, as do Haubentaucher and occasionally Schwarzhalstaucher and more rarely, Rothalstaucher. Rohrdommel are often present in winter, and could breed.
On migration, Fischadler, Rohrweihe and Wespenbussard often pass over along with numerous Mäusebussard. Rarer species like Schwarzmilan can occur. Wader migration in early autumn includes regular Flußuferläufer, Waldwasserläufer and Bruchwasserläufer; after drought summers, more mud is exposed, which can attract Alpenstrandläufer, Kampfläufer, and Sichelstrandläufer.
The reedbeds hold large numbers of Teichrohrsänger and occasional Bartmeise, while in adjacent wet ground with tall herbs, Sumpfrohrsänger are frequent. The denser shrubby areas hold breeding Sprosser and Gelbspötter, as well as commoner species like Fitis, Zilpzalp, Klappergrasmücke, Mönchsgrasmücke and Gartengrasmücke. Beutelmeise can be seen occasionally, and has bred in the past. In winter, these are replaced by flocks of Rotdrossel and Wacholderdrossel. A headland on the north side of Midtmosen, Langholm, has some excellent rough scrub habitat, which at least used to hold breeding Neuntöter. More open grassy areas can attract passage birds like Braunkehlchen.
Bispebjerg Kirkegård (Bispebjerg Cemetery) has extensive tree cover, and is quiet with minimal disturbance, making it good for woodland birds, including Kernbeißer and passage Gartenrotschwanz and Trauerschnäpper. Grundtvigs Kirke, the landmark church adjacent to the Kirkegård, has breeding Turmfalke and occasional passage Hausrotschwanz.

Zugang
An extensive network of cycle paths makes cycle access very easy. Bus stops on Frederiksborgvej (by the Kirkegård and the east end of Østmosen), on Horsebakken (between Østmosen and Midtmosen), and on Åkandevej at the west end; consult bus stop information boards for service numbers and timetables. Car parking is limited, but not necessary, with København's excellent public transport. Note that while Utterslev Mose is open at all hours, Bispebjerg Kirkegård is closed at night (opens 07:00, closes 22:00 in summer, 19:00 in winter).
