Mystery seedling

Yet another self-sown seedling in the path. (Note husband’s boot perilously close. He hates self -seeders, especially nigella!) is this a seedling from the bird feeder? Any ideas?

    That looks like Umbrella Grass ... Cyperus involucratus. 


    I’ve only ever grown it as a houseplant. 

    No idea whether it’s included in bird seed mixes.

    Grows in the garden here but bit of a spreader easily pulled out.
