Found near large bodies of water and coastlines across Europe and parts of Asia, the white tailed eagles are powerful predators capable of attacking large prey of considerable sizes. They themselves are huge birds, but it is not so difficult for humans to catch them, which makes the white-tailed eagles vulnerable.
White-tailed eagles fly swiftly; they can reach a speed of 70 km/h in no time. They are opportunistic predators and will not leave a chance to snatch food from other birds and otters. They are adept in catching fish from the surface of the water. However, they occasionally feast on carrion as well.
White-tailed eagles sometimes attack entire colonies of smaller birds. This has caused some smaller birds to relocate their entire colonies away from white-tailed eagle ranges.
