Eichhörnchen or Squirrel

Not a great photo, taken through the window with the iPhone, but this squirrel has taken to visiting the bird feeder. I will have to try with a proper lens. I don't mind him (?her) as it eats less than the hordes of sparrows that raid the feed all day long now that the breeding pairs have disappeared.
Behind the bird feeder you can see the new soil waiting for the grass seed. It is a pity we haven't sown it (Hubby forgot to buy it) as it has rained all day. Hubby and I spent the day inside putting together the furniture for the entrance hall
