Hummingbirds are not the only birds Spencer has photographed. Over the past eight years, he has captured a wide range of beautiful birds. Most of the images were taken in Brazil, and the rest in his home country of Australia.

The secret behind his photos is observation. Only after observing the birds for years do you learn the secret moments and the rhythm of the rainforest, he says on PetaPixel.

If you would like to have the book, you can buy it from fotoboekenshop.nl, among others, for 50 euros.
