The Staines reservoirs are a set of two reservoirs in west London constructed in the early 1900s to supply the city with drinking water. Storing over 15 million cubic metres of water, the reservoirs are an important wintering site for wetland birds, with a selection shown in the PIPs (from left to right: Black-necked Grebe, Great Northern Diver, Goldeneye and Herring Gull).
