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 Grauwe Gans, which are habituated to people so are very approachable. Most freshwater ducks occur in varying numbers, as do Fuut and occasionally Geoorde Fuut and more rarely, Roodhalsfuut. Roerdomp are often present in winter, and could breed.
On migration, Visarend, Bruine Kiekendief and Wespendief often pass over along with numerous Buizerd. Rarer species like Zwarte Wouw can occur. Wader migration in early autumn includes regular Oeverloper, Witgat and Bosruiter; after drought summers, more mud is exposed, which can attract Bonte Strandloper, Kemphaan, and Krombekstrandloper.
The reedbeds hold large numbers of Kleine Karekiet and occasional Baardman, while in adjacent wet ground with tall herbs, Bosrietzanger are frequent. The denser shrubby areas hold breeding Noordse Nachtegaal and Spotvogel, as well as commoner species like Fitis, Tjiftjaf, Braamsluiper, Zwartkop and Tuinfluiter. Buidelmees can be seen occasionally, and has bred in the past. In winter, these are replaced by flocks of Koperwiek and Kramsvogel. A headland on the north side of Midtmosen, Langholm, has some excellent rough scrub habitat, which at least used to hold breeding Grauwe Klauwier. More open grassy areas can attract passage birds like Paapje.
Bispebjerg Kirkegård (Bispebjerg Cemetery) has extensive tree cover, and is quiet with minimal disturbance, making it good for woodland birds, including Appelvink and passage Gekraagde Roodstaart and Bonte Vliegenvanger. Grundtvigs Kirke, the landmark church adjacent to the Kirkegård, has breeding Torenvalk and occasional passage Zwarte Roodstaart.
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).
