Struggling with last one, 6d(4) "Kingfisher ditching Queen's boat"

Have got k-e- which could be keel(for boat) but can't get the connection with kingfisher; perhaps an alternative colloquial name? Or is this the wrong track altogether?

K _ King
EEL- Fish
Queen - ER

ditch the Queen

Sorry is a bit lame on my part.

Does not seem right

K (king) + eeler (fisher) minus ER

better

Thanks that looks good
