Djokovic tops Nadal

OK, I was going to try to write some sports analysis and background profile about Novak Djokovic [WIKI] like ...
World No 1 Novak Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal in a five-hour 53 minutes match (the longest match in any Grand Slam final) at the Australian Open Men's Singles Final in Melbourne.
The 24-year-old Serb celebrated his win in style (see pics). There are reasons for special celebrations as Djokovic has now defeated his Spanish rival in three straight Grand Slam finals.  
For the World No 1, this herioc battle was the greatest win of his life. Djokovic's girlfriend was there to cheer the champion.
 ...but I really just wanted to post these pics!

Flying Colours


Found in Australia, there are only around two thousand Rainbow (or Gouldian) Finches (wikipedia) left in the wild. Although conservation attempts are ongoing the question is whether or not this beautiful species will join the ranks of those who only survive in captivity.
