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.

Thursday 31st March
Have been to the Reservoir for the last two evenings but it has been rather quiet. The Goosander numbers dropped from 23 yesterday to 1 tonight. However, I did manage a new species for the year with an LRP on the south shore. And I finally had another Swallow albeit nearly three weeks after the first! There was still at least one Brambling present in the roost behind the sailing club. April tomorrow so it should start to hot up a touch.
