I was surprised to find a vole in some grass in the wetlands who appeared to be munching on a foxglove flower. But here's the thing-- Foxglove (digitalis) is highly poisonous! Much online research suggests that voles don't have an immunity, so he was either not eating the flower, or the flower was not foxglove, or he's no longer with us. I'll go with either option 1 or 2.

What a cutie. I am sure he is still roaming about :-D
He certainly looks as if he is munching on what ever the flower is. Fingers crossed.
That is so sad to read about it. That is natural selection process
