It can see another great tit in the wiondow reflection and is attempting

to
get it to go away out of it's territory. Birds often attack their

reflection
mistakenly thinking they have a rival.

We once had regular visits from a couple of red legged partridges. The
male decided to attack the car. It went frantic trying to kill the other
one it saw in it!

Hehe they don't call them 'bird brains' for nowt.
They really do seem to think it is another bird. Same reason us parrot
keepers put mirrors in the cage I suppose.
