Here in the U.S. when birders see a particularly brightly colored bird, they refer to it as an "eye candy".

My wife and I got lucky when we visited Big Morongo Valley last Apr. 24th. We got five eye candies!

Hooded Oriole
30D, 100-400 @ 400mm, ISO-640, 1/400, f7.1, handheld

Yellow Warbler
40D, 500mm+1.4X, ISO-500, 1/400, f7.1, tripod, gimbal head

Sometimes it's not the size of your lens that matters, it's how you use it. ;-)
