栗喉蜂虎每年約三月底來到金門，先為了繁衍下一代，忙著配對、求偶，接著就分工孵卵、育雛，栗喉蜂虎是屬於集體繁殖的族群，根據學者專家田野調查研究發現，形成集體繁殖主要有兩個原因：第一是因為築巢地有限，集體繁殖可確保族群數量的維持。第二是可以共同防禦天敵，這樣可以保護巢地的安全；研究人員發現一個有趣的現象，那就是栗喉蜂虎在求偶期間，竟然也搞「婚外情」，就是人類所謂的「偷情」，不過從基因與演化的角度來看，這樣的生態行為，對於單一個體卻可增加其後代基因的歧異度，使後代存活率增加，使自己基因留傳的機會增加，是一種很有智慧的機制。

This is just a test shot of my new a77ii.It is a multi frame noise reduction shot at iso 12800.I picked this photo in order to show at the a77 owners the difference between a77 and a77ii.I used to own myself an a77 for almost 2 years and althought it's a great camera the high iso problem was a headache for me (and not only me).After one month with a77ii i have to say that the perfomance of this new camera is absolutely great!!!The AF is astonishing and the the high iso performance is more than fine for a crop sensor camera.It is an absolutely great camera!!!
