A large bird of prey is hovering above the Ospreys nest, a Sea Eagle most likely - an apex predator. You can see its shadow in the background at 2:00

The mother retreats to the nest to cover her chicks. She extends her wings and tail feathers to appear larger and intimidating, hoping to avoid a confrontation.

Once the sky is clear, normal life resumes.
