Can you put some paper or a cloth over the outside of the window to stop the reflections?

It's worth trying all sorts of distractions like streamers/cds/picture of a preditor. We had a black bird who would do this every year for what I assume were the 4 years of its life. The only thing that ever stopped it was to put a feed bag over the window on the outsdie like VC suggets."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."
PS. I just don't have enough time to say hello to everyone as they join so please take this as a delighted to see you here!Comment

We had a wagtail that attacked its reflection in the house windows and the car windows/mirrors. Made a right mess and exhausted the bird. We ended up having to put a tarp over the car and shut all the shutters on the windows.
MrPP also had a frenzied day of chasing it away which was ineffective but hilarious to watch.Le Sarramea https://jgsgardening.blogspot.com/Comment

I have seen a wagtail before relentlessly attacking its reflection in a car mirror. There's a lot of windows in our room Im not sure I can really cover them all. I might try putting a drawing of a magpie in the window though. And some distractions to put him off.
Thank you all, i'll let you know what happens.The best things in life are not things.Comment

My folks get all the luck:

By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,

No, it's a pile of ducks.

I wouldn't mind but the pond's no bigger than about 6' in any direction. And they've got a grass snake (assuming the ducks haven't scared it off). Terribly unfair.

A baby starling peeping out at the world. I think he looks a bit worried. They fledged this evening so I hope they survive. I'll miss their loud chirping!The best things in life are not things.Comment
