Stadsgraven og Christianhavns Vold

Urban birding - birdlife at the old moat and rampart

Urban Birding! Do you want to experience the city in a different way? Why not join a birdwatching tour with a local birdwatcher? Yes, it is possible to do birdwatching in Copenhagen! Are you on a city break or on business travel - why not take a break and relax with urban birding? On this tour we look for birds at Christianshavns Vold - the old ramparts, and Stadsgraven - the old moat. We expect to see Mute Swans - the Danish national bird. You probably know it from the famous H.C. Andersen's fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling". From the trail we expect to see various waterbirds such as herons, ducks, geese and cormorants. In the bush and trees we look for other birds. If we are very lucky, we might see a peregrine falcon! The tour takes place at a calm pace and we stop at several places to watch and enjoy the birds.
