Mike, I think this could be a 'foreigner' from you bird seed. I don't recognise it.
Someone else may have some ideas, maybe I'm missing something, but I'l keep trying.
It's a very attractive plant.

Well done Stark! Great ID.
I've heard of it, but not a plant I have yet come across, despite it being quite well scattered across the country I see. http://www.bsbimaps.org.uk/atlas/map_page.php?spid=95.0

I see in Stace he says 'mainly from bird-seed'.
Comes from the Nile I believe and is sometimes called Bishop's weed.

I’ve only come across it once (growing on Plymouth Hoe, alongside Plymouth Thistle) but it’s a pretty distinctive species once you’ve seen it
