Thanks for this. Looked it up on-line from this and it's a Northern Cardinal to be precise. I realised when I went for a run through the woods later they're pretty common here. Also saw some sort of very large hawk on that run, just soaring right above may head then gently glided down and landed, but unfortunately just around a bend from where I was.
