All,
Digiscope of an Osprey obtained at the Belle Haven Marina earlier

While a nearby nest is under construction, a territorial dispute of
some kind with a third Osprey took place for an extended period of
time today, It took the established Osprey pair the better part of 15
minutes to drive off the intruder. This altercation took place right
at the nest, with the intruder repeatedly diving on the established
pair who were trying to perform some maintenance at the nest.
