Cebu’s Sta Rosa Island & Olango Wildlife Sanctuary

September 2, 2010 By Cille Anne 4 Comments

Locals told us that October is the best time for bird watching as birds from as far as Siberia, Japan and China flock to the island to escape the hard winters of these countries. The birds uses Olango as a major pitstop on their journey to Australia and New Zealand, and as they go back to their nesting grounds.
