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.

Wednesday 15th September
Another good bird today with a Little Stint, I flushed it of the shoreline on the west end it was calling and was flying with incredibly quick wing beats in the wind, it didn’t settle and headed off to the west into the wind. That represents the second record of the year for this species. The Little Gull was still present this evening. By the small pool there were two Willow Tit in with the tit flock, strangely it has been mostly Marsh Tit that I have been seeing recently. There are still a few hirundines around and four Chiffchaff. There was also the return of the Common Sandpiper with a single bird present near the sailing club. (per Steve Haynes)
