I saw him, better I heard him, many times before during his up-climb at the houses wall. Very quick, he was - no chance to photograph him.
He constructed his winter nest in a old flowerpot wich was stored on a locker at the balcony. I discovered the nest a couple of days later. His

It's to hot for the animals at this time of the year. They can't get theirs winter sleep.

What is his name?

@Artemus, this is a european squirrel. German name Eichhörnchen, in latin Sciurus vulgaris.
We also have here in our park somtimes the north amercian squirrel - bad for the habitat of the european squirrel. They have the color of grey/brownish and more body mass.

That Eichhornchen is a hoot! Are the NA squirrels invasive? Did man bring them in?

 

[Michael]

Yep!
It's a lot of fu to observe these little creatures. The NA squirrels are invasive, but they live in here own habitat - mostly.
Approx. 1.5 centuries ago, the Britains to import them in their country.

Nah, more like 6-8' in diameter... That whole pinnacle is probably 30' high.

Did it come with something to smoke it out of?? I found a bottle of whiskey on a tree in the wasatch once that was part of a memorial. I took a sip.

Halloween Party at my local java joint. I had to crop out a 5 year old holding the jack-o-lantern. She was transfixed by this strange creature.
