//What do grass snakes eat? Frogs, toads and newts are a grass snake's favoured prey, but they will also take fish, small mammals and birds. With no venom, grass snakes rely on the element of surprise to hunt. A snake will strike out and grab its unsuspecting prey, swallowing it whole.//

I didn't know but am surprised to learn that they do

Yes. We've lost several fish to grass snakes. It's also known as the water snake.
