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.

I think I scored my lowest total of birds for Shustoke today, although I admit I wasn’t really trying and the path to the small pool didn’t appeal to me. I could hear the river roaring from 100 yards away so I didn’t bother. There were around 20ish Common Tern and the only other bird of note was a Wigeon.
