Hi Maureen, I will read through my other notes, but these links may help if you read through them. I wonder if the last link may help you most – that the bird does not see the glass but can see insects. I know you said that you can’t see any insects, but maybe there are some there.

Hope the above helps. When I first wrote about this, I thought that it would be one lone Blue Tit. I was wrong and it happens in different places at different times. It must be something inherent in the Blue Tit that it sees or instincively does. Strange.
