Not sure what they're eating here! It's in a small laneway between horse paddocks

A good find at this time of year. This is a male. Were there any native grasses here such as Themeda but there appears no good reason why they could not feed on exotics. The pacthy nature of the habitat shown in your picture with some bare ground could be more important.
