Strange Blue Tit behaviour (1 Viewer)

For the last week or so, a bird (I think it's just the one) has been flying up to various windows at mid-height then flying up the surface to the top of the window, scrabbling with its feet.

This is repeated many times and can continue for many minutes. A normally shy bird is almost indifferent to my presence on the other side of the glsss.

I can't see any insects on any of the windows - so what is it doing?

It's probably having a go at it's reflection. It's that time of year when they are setting up breeding territories and seeing off potential mating threats.
