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.

Monday 15th August
The Little Gull from Saturday was still present on Sunday and Monday although Captain Daylate and I didn’t see it tonight. There were still a few Swift around and a small group of Gadwall at the far end. The highlight tonight though was a Turnstone which the Good Captain picked up as it flew across the reservoir flying off the the north-west. The only other bird of note was a Common Sandpiper.
