Descrizione

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 Tuffetto, Svasso collorosso, Cigno reale, Oca selvatica, Gallinella d'acqua and Folaga. The area also houses breeding Picchio rosso maggiore, Codibugnolo, Cesena and Usignolo maggiore as well as many songbirds, including Cannaiola and Cannaiola verdognola. In previous years, the relatively rare Pendolino has bred in the bog. Rampichino comune has been found breeding since 2012. Poiana and Falco di palude breed in certain years. On Vestvolden up to the bog or in the bog itself, Sparviere often breed.

Kagsmosen is also an excellent bird area for resting and migrating birds. Many ducks, geese and Alzavola, Mestolone, Moretta and Moriglione can be seen and many of birds of prey. Especially Poiana and also Falco pecchiaiolo, and occasionally Nibbio reale, Astore, Poiana calzata, Aquila di mare, Falco pescatore and Albanella reale. Gru 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 Cigno selvatico, as well as occasionally Smergo maggiore, herons, raptors and waterfowl. Apart from many different passerines, it is sometimes possible to see Merlo acquaiolo and in certain years flocks of invading Beccofrusone. A few years ago Rampichino comune started to overwinter here. Martin pescatore 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 Martin pescatore, Merlo acquaiolo and Ballerina gialla.
