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.

Friday 20th August
A bit of life at the reservoir today with a female Wheatear on the south-east shore along with a Common Sandpiper. A large flock of 50+ Goldfinch were in the same area. Warbler corner was quiet with a couple of Chiffchaff and a Willow Warbler. The highlight today – two “The Scottish Play” Duck (the duck that should not be named) which were off the car park tonight.
