Beschrijving
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 Dodaars, Roodhalsfuut, Knobbelzwaan, Grauwe Gans, Waterhoen and Meerkoet. The area also houses breeding Grote Bonte Specht, Staartmees, Kramsvogel and Noordse Nachtegaal as well as many songbirds, including Kleine Karekiet and Bosrietzanger. In previous years, the relatively rare Buidelmees has bred in the bog. Boomkruiper has been found breeding since 2012. Buizerd and Bruine Kiekendief breed in certain years. On Vestvolden up to the bog or in the bog itself, Sperwer often breed.
Kagsmosen is also an excellent bird area for resting and migrating birds. Many ducks, geese and Wintertaling, Slobeend, Kuifeend and Tafeleend can be seen and many of birds of prey. Especially Buizerd and also Wespendief, and occasionally Rode Wouw, Havik, Ruigpootbuizerd, Zeearend, Visarend and Blauwe Kiekendief. Kraanvogel 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 Wilde Zwaan, as well as occasionally Grote Zaagbek, herons, raptors and waterfowl. Apart from many different passerines, it is sometimes possible to see Waterspreeuw and in certain years flocks of invading Pestvogel. A few years ago Boomkruiper started to overwinter here. IJsvogel 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 IJsvogel, Waterspreeuw and Grote Gele Kwikstaart.
