Shustoke Reservoir lies two miles east of Coleshill on the B4114 Coleshill to Furnace End Road, south of the River Bourne. At 1.5km west to east, the main pool is only 400m at its widest point. The River Bourne feeds the smaller eastern pool (8 acres), the water is then transferred to the main reservoir (92 acres). Disturbance at weekends can be a problem.

Scotland trip
I spent a week in Scotland hillwalking and birding at the end of June. It was really quiet bird wise as I chose to visit Blackdog Sands the day the White-winged Scoter decided not too. But we had a good day out and saw the King Eider at the Ythan.
Congratulations Pete, some achievement
