The creature had hissed and gagged, water leaking in little spurts from the gills on the side of its neck, staring with bulging round eyes with vertically slit pupils. When it opened its mouth, he had glimpsed too many teeth, in multiple rows, and all very long and sharp. Like needles, or maybe shivs. Joe had watched it gnaw ineffectually on the cords of the net, while the powerful silver tail thrashed, sending sand flying in every direction. They left it sprawled and writhing in a mess of sand and broken shells and gravel, where it growled and warbled and bubbled and hissed.

the first osprey is the father, the one that comes later is the mother.

ospreys are not eagles, they're ospreys

ospreys only eat fish, that's why they don't register this starling as possible food

the starling got home safely

the starling was not trying to eat the eggs, it was mostly curious and you can see it trying to hop under the osprey every time the osprey tries to sit down again--this is because the starling is still a baby and has the instinct to get under an adult for warmth, even though it mostly has its feathers. this scares the osprey because that is a Foreign Creature near its eggs.

at the end of the video you can see the ospreys starting to turn the eggs. birds do this so the yolk and/or embryo don't stick to the shell of the egg, which is bad for the egg's health.
