Bird visiting window

This fellow is visiting our back door as well as side window every day as if demanding entry. Flying over from the garden fence multiple times well it’s almost all day every day. Why is he doing this?

It most likely can see its reflection in the glass or handle and thinks its a rival bird. You could try covering the pain of glass with some paper to see if that helps.

Or are you new into the property? Perhaps a previous resident fed it regularly?

We have lived here over ten years answer this has not happened before. We have put food in a feeder away from the window and back door to lure him away, we had a nest this year on our pergola this year of what we thought blackbirds/ thrushes maybe it’s one of the family?

Well there goes that theory then
I'm out of ideas if it's not reflection or learned behaviour

Like suggested, the bird could b e attacking its reflection thinking it is a rival. It is the time of year when birds get territorial and will fight any rivals off.
