Have i caught a Kingfisher

[Proud2btaff]

So I was out using my new Macro lens today and the pond I was at I saw a streak of blue flying over it. I headed off to the area near where the bird had flown and managed to grab this shot. Unfortunately I had my 105mm Macro lens on the camera so couldn't zoom and the bird flew off before I could think of creeping a little closer. Can anyone confirm what it is.

Thanks

Looks like a juvenile to me

It is indeed a Kingfisher, always lovely to see

Thanks All for the confirmation, that's my first and hopefully now I know roughly where it is I can get some better shots.
