Heron as a Bird of Prey?

I am at present putting together a new evening talk on our birds of prey. I had already decided to include the Grey Heron in the talk as I have personally seen all sorts of fish, a large eel and even a rat being eaten by herons. I now feel vindicated in including this bird in a list of birds of prey as I have just seen the following article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/09/29/eaheron129.xml

I once saw a Heron eat a small fish (probably Rudd,) then a frog, and finally a Water Vole!! All within 30 mins. The vole was a real shame as it ate it whole and live - no drowning here - and you could see it wriggling as it went down. This was in the Lee Valley. We still talk about "poor voley" even now many years on.
