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.

Easter Sunday
Again a miserable day, and I didn’t venture out till late, a break in at work had me out of bed until 2am so I lay in rather this morning. Tonight I didn’t expect much and I wasn’t disappointed. The Scaup is still there and there were six Goosander and one Teal. Yesterday’s Common Sandpiper was still present but there was little else apart from one singing Blackcap and a solitary Swallow.
