there is no given name for this action other than the generic term of defence, but the manor in which its done varies greatly within birds, for example, a skylark will fly up and sing if it is disturbed in order to distract you from the nest site, lapwings will dive bomb intruders until they leave, and this is a colonial reaction, a whole colony of birds will attack an intruder that wonders into their territory. Ringed plovers will fly directly at the intruder and veer away at the last second. as you can see, 3 different reactions from three different birds, the best we can do is generalize it into "defending the nest"
