Descrizione

Lake Gentofte Sø (on almost 27 ha) and the bog of Brobæk Mose (Insulinmosen) together cover 53 ha and are the largest contiguous wetland in Gentofte Municipality. Originally the lake was in use for commercial fishing, and examples of the old fishing houses can still be seen at the lake shore. Today it is more like a park lake with several reed islands in the western part. On the east bank is Folkeparken with many old trees. To the area belongs the small lake Langkær, which lies between the lake and Gentofte Church to the east. Brobæk Mose west of the lake was previously known as Insulinmosen, as it was owned by Nordic Insulin Laboratory. The natural forest in the bog is left untouched, allowing the natural development of new growth as well as old felled trees are preserved. Efforts are made to preserve the open areas south of the bog (Gentofte Enge), where many rare plants occur. The entire nature area except for Folkeparken is an EU protected area. 14 ha (the northern half of Folkeparken and the northern part of Brobæk Mose) are also protected.

The above description has been made by caretaker Thomas Vikstrøm and Joy Klein (DOF/BirdLife Danmark). The description of bird life below is written by Frank Desting.

The area has a rich bird life both in terms of breeding birds and migratory birds in as well as summer and winter guests. Of breeding birds by the lake can be mentioned Svasso maggiore, Cigno reale, Oca selvatica , Germano reale, Moriglione, Moretta, Gallinella d'acqua, Folaga, Pavoncella, Basettino, Rampichino comune, Codirosso, Cannaiola, Cannaiola verdognola, Bigiarella, Sterpazzola, Storno, Verdone and Migliarino di palude. In the bog Sparviere, Poiana, Cuculo, Picchio rosso maggiore, Ghiandaia, Cincia bigia, Picchio muratore, Codibugnolo, Rampichino alpestre, Rampichino comune, Tordo bottaccio, Usignolo maggiore , Capinera, Beccafico, Luì grosso, Luì piccolo, Frosone, Cardellino, Ciuffolotto and Fringuello.

Summer guests include Zafferano, Sterna maggiore, Beccapesci and Sterna comune are seen on a regular basis. In winter, especially during frost periods, Brobæk Mose (Brobækken) is known for freely exposed foraging Porciglione in the spring of the bog, in addition can which occasionally Beccaccia and Ballerina gialla are seen. Tarabuso and Allocco are also observed in the area. Astore can also be seen hunting in the area occasionally, and flocks of Beccofrusone can also be seen in the winter months. On the lake are often seen Cigno selvatico, various ducks, including both Smergo maggiore and also Pesciaiola now and then.

During the migration season many exciting bird species are seen, both resting and migrating over the area, this applies to, for example Airone bianco maggiore and various geese and ducks. A beautiful Fistione turco male has also 'consulted' the lake on and off in recent years.

There is also a nice bird of prey migration over the area with many Poiana, Falco pecchiaiolo, occasionally spiced up withPoiana calzata, Nibbio reale, Nibbio bruno, Aquila di mare, Falco pellegrino, Falco di palude, Albanella reale, Falco pescatore (often foraging!) - and Lodolaio, Smeriglio and even Falco cuculo! Large flocks of Gru are seen migrating over the area every year, especially in east wind. Wading birds are not seen many of which lack some open wading surfaces where the birds can forage, but some Piro piro piccolo, Piro piro culbianco, Beccaccino can be seen regularly. Furthermore, a flock of Pivieressa is noted pulling over the lake. Corvo imperiale is regular. Martin pescatore is regular, both in the bog and along the lake and Merlo acquaiolo is also noted a few times.

Many different birdspecies pass the area during the migration season, various larks, pipits and various finches - and there are the occasional Stiaccino, Culbianco, Pigliamosche and Balia nera as well as Regolo in the migration season. It can also be mentioned that Averla piccola and Averla maggiore are also listed in the area. A big sensation was when on 10/11 2019 I found a new species for the country in Folkeparken by Gentofte Lake, namely Pigliamosche della taiga! More about this find can be read in 'BIRD YEAR 2019' published by DOF/BirdLife Danmark.
