To improve your chances throw in some ground bait around the stick to attract the fish. If the fish come so will the Kingfisher

Be aware that the kingfisher has exceptional eyesight and you should seriously consider getting a camo net or similar to hide under as it will rarely perch if it can see you.
Note: the kingfisher is protected by law and photography at or near a nest is is only allowed with a schedule 1 license.
