Descrizione

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 Oca selvatica, which are habituated to people so are very approachable. Most freshwater ducks occur in varying numbers, as do Svasso maggiore and occasionally Svasso piccolo and more rarely, Svasso collorosso. Tarabuso are often present in winter, and could breed.

On migration, Falco pescatore, Falco di palude and Falco pecchiaiolo often pass over along with numerous Poiana. Rarer species like Nibbio bruno can occur. Wader migration in early autumn includes regular Piro piro piccolo, Piro piro culbianco and Piro piro boschereccio; after drought summers, more mud is exposed, which can attract Piovanello pancianera, Combattente, and Piovanello comune.

The reedbeds hold large numbers of Cannaiola and occasional Basettino, while in adjacent wet ground with tall herbs, Cannaiola verdognola are frequent. The denser shrubby areas hold breeding Usignolo maggiore and Canapino maggiore, as well as commoner species like Luì grosso, Luì piccolo, Bigiarella, Capinera and Beccafico. Pendolino can be seen occasionally, and has bred in the past. In winter, these are replaced by flocks of Tordo sassello and Cesena. A headland on the north side of Midtmosen, Langholm, has some excellent rough scrub habitat, which at least used to hold breeding Averla piccola. More open grassy areas can attract passage birds like Stiaccino.

Bispebjerg Kirkegård (Bispebjerg Cemetery) has extensive tree cover, and is quiet with minimal disturbance, making it good for woodland birds, including Frosone and passage Codirosso and Balia nera. Grundtvigs Kirke, the landmark church adjacent to the Kirkegård, has breeding Gheppio and occasional passage Codirosso spazzacamino.

Accesso

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).
