Silly answer: the one who lays the eggs is the female

Here are two beautiful birds...but without names. I think that they need Estonian names. What you think if they will be:
female: Piret
male: Madis

I heard some kind of vehicle leave or pass, maybe that was why they were so loud and excited?

Bird in the rear of Gaby's photo is the female.
The female is also the one who is argueing.
The male,if he want to win her favours,has to feed her now. The ospreys feed on fish,brought directly from the water.She will shout at him to bring the fish.
UMP posted a great video of ospreys fishing;

I left the whole page link there as there are more videos and info about ospreys.

I have missed the returnings and leavings, but they have been quick -- about enough time for a food trade and no more.
