Not at all bad - I'd be pleased to have managed to get them!
Can you lighten the kingfisher a bit without losing that lovely light through the wing?

For me... I'd leave it as is. Just use lighten up the Kingfisher to bring out those spectacular colours!

The Kingfisher was obliging and sat briefly on a nearby stick and then flew about a bit. One day, I WILL get a decent close up of a kingfisher in flight!!!! The shutter speed was 1/1500th sec.
The blooming Green Sandpiper was inconsiderate in flying out of the frame. I do like the water/mud droplets though, shutter speed was also 1/1500th sec.
