Yes, a long way out of range so surely not a wild bird. Stunning colours.

Emma and I examined specimens collected from this site and we are of the opinion that these plants are Dichanthium sericeum. The leaf sheath is covered in tubercle-based not restricted to the node; racemes between 2-5 per inflorescence though generally 3-4; pedicellate spikelets sterile; absence of distinctive purplish colouration as present in D.setosum. A shame is not the rare one but I must say that this is a super nice patch of a grass that isn't super common regionally.

there is a Chrysomelid - Leaf Beetle in the first shot which you can set up as an additional sighting. It is facing downwards and you can just see one antenna

Following up on the ID as these don't seem typical for D.alba. Potentially D.pictilis

Or at least I can't find another ID. Obviously different from the typical X.bracteatum

Xerochrysum bracteatum
