As I understand it, Middlesex is no longer a separate county, as it's part of the Greater London administrative area. The answer was the Isle of Wight, which is a separate county, and tides. At low tide, the Isle of Wight is larger than Rutland, and at high tide, it is smaller. I didn't know about the reservoir in Rutland, and I'm not sure how it fits into this...
