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.

Saturday 7th May
Went around early with Captain Daylate, however things were quite quiet with very few birds singing. There were still around 10 Common Tern and there were several Swifts amongst the hirundines. On the bank by the sailing club there were two Common Sandpiper which were new for the year as was the Swift. I will try and get around later today as I have a few warblers to catch up with.
