A tapping Tit.

I'm  the early morning dog walker in this house,  John gets the coffee pot on and breakfast sorted if we're having any.   No reason why it should be this way,  it's just a routine that we've got into. 

One day last week, I'd gone out, he was getting dressed, and he heard a tapping coming from the lounge.  It stopped then started again.  He said it sounded like it was  on the lounge window.  Nothing strange in that you might think, but our lounge window goes out onto a balcony and is first floor, not ground floor.  So quite difficult to tap on it unless you are a bird! 

When he went into the lounge he saw what it was  -  a Great Tit,  it flies up onto the balcony, then onto the window frame and taps on the glass.  Flies off for a few minutes and returns.  It's been doing this every morning now for about a week.  Starts at about 8 am and comes and goes for a couple of hours.   Does it want feeding?  Does it see it's  reflection in the glass and think there's a mate or friend in here?  Tried to get a photo of it, but the window faces south and it's back-lit in the morning so no luck.  Any ideas as to what it wants or is this normal behaviour?
