A large nature reserve and adjacent cemetery close to the heart of Denmark's capital city, easily accessed by public transport and bike.
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 Oie cendrée, which are habituated to people so are very approachable. Most freshwater ducks occur in varying numbers, as do Grèbe huppé and occasionally Grèbe à cou noir and more rarely, Grèbe jougris. Butor étoilé are often present in winter, and could breed.
On migration, Balbuzard pêcheur, Busard des roseaux and Bondrée apivore often pass over along with numerous Buse variable. Rarer species like Milan noir can occur. Wader migration in early autumn includes regular Chevalier guignette, Chevalier culblanc and Chevalier sylvain; after drought summers, more mud is exposed, which can attract Bécasseau variable, Combattant varié, and Bécasseau cocorli.
The reedbeds hold large numbers of Rousserolle effarvatte and occasional Panure à moustaches, while in adjacent wet ground with tall herbs, Rousserolle verderolle are frequent. The denser shrubby areas hold breeding Rossignol progné and Hypolaïs ictérine, as well as commoner species like Pouillot fitis, Pouillot véloce, Fauvette babillarde, Fauvette à tête noire and Fauvette des jardins. Rémiz penduline can be seen occasionally, and has bred in the past. In winter, these are replaced by flocks of Grive mauvis and Grive litorne. A headland on the north side of Midtmosen, Langholm, has some excellent rough scrub habitat, which at least used to hold breeding Pie-grièche écorcheur. More open grassy areas can attract passage birds like Tarier des prés.
Bispebjerg Kirkegård (Bispebjerg Cemetery) has extensive tree cover, and is quiet with minimal disturbance, making it good for woodland birds, including Gros-bec casse-noyaux and passage Rougequeue à front blanc and Gobemouche noir. Grundtvigs Kirke, the landmark church adjacent to the Kirkegård, has breeding Faucon crécerelle and occasional passage Rougequeue noir.
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).
