Red-breasted Merganser – Bob Duckhouse (thanks, I will ask permission when I see you) |
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.

Sunday 28th October
Managed to get over early afternoon just before the rain came. There was little of note, a group of Wigeon (17) flew over heading west. There were no other wildfowl of note. We saw around six Goldcrest but that was it. There seems to be a general dearth of birds around at the moment, as I have mentioned before it must have been a very poor breeding season all around.
