Hi Clive and welcome to WAB

There have been several previous threads on this topic, here's the latest -

Photographing Kingfishers

and here's another -

In flight Kingfisher shots

A search under 'Kingfishers' should reveal more, BUT as we're now right in the middle of the breeding season please see the important reminder below.

I hope that helps.

PLEASE REMEMBER -
As a fairly rare and easily disturbed bird, the Kingfisher is afforded the highest degree of legal protection under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. If you “intentionally or recklessly” disturb a Kingfisher whilst trying to photograph it “in, on, at or near” the nest or whilst it has dependent young, and without the necessary Licence from Natural England, you may be committing a criminal offence punishable by a fine of up to £5,000 and/or a prison sentence of up to 6 months.
