Description
Kalvebod Fælled is a very new part of Denmark. It emerged from the sea in 1943, when the 20-km2 area was reclaimed as an employment project, but nature - especially bird life - quickly took over. The area is mostly wetland and areas with birchtrees, small ponds and brackish water area. It is a paradise for ornithologists, because of the location of one of the important migratory routes between northern Scandinavia and southern Europe, rare birds also visit this area. You can see Western Marsh Harrier, Eurasian Curlew, Northern Pintail, Dunlin, Arctic Tern and Short-eared Owl, as well as Goosander and Smew. It is also possible to see or hear Common Nightingale, Great Bittern, White-tailed Eagle, Hen Harrier and many breeding wading birds, gulls and terns. A small area in the southwestern part is a closed-off bird sanctuary with no admission, but with good bird towers and bird hides on the perimeter.
