I’ve just checked up a bit. We have red squirrels in Germany and their reddish-brown colour was one reason they were associated with the devil from early middle ages. The other reason is that their ears have those little tufts looking somewhat like horns – which is, I suppose why they are called oak-hornlets = Eichhƶrnchen.
A bit of a hard to build and right on the road.

It was probably an attempt to get away from the creek at the bottom of the plot. But it looked weird enough to catch my eye.

Still a weird place to build. Would the creek flood and get up to road level?

Extremely unlikely. But, as we say in German, the devil is a squirrel. = you’ll never know

That’s a good saying. In Australia we would substitute squirrel for possum. They can be the devil incarnate

Tufted ears would seem quite devilish
