With migratory birds coming in the Olango Island in Cebu turn into the Olango Wildlife Sanctuary, Cebu. This becomes the breeding place for many species of birds. The Olango islands become all the more beautiful with the arrival of the bird species. It is a wonderful experience for tourists coming in to the Olango Wildlife Sanctuary, Cebu- as they can get to witness the captivating scenic beauty of the islands and also view exotic birds alongside local flora and fauna.
The largest concentration of migratory birds to be found in the whole region is in the Olango Island. Birds from as far as Siberia, Northern China and Japan come in here. It is the anticipation of scarcity of food and cold with the advent of the winter season that drives the birds to leave their home ground. Such birds may even go as far as Australia and New Zealand and the consider the Olanga Island as their refueling station. Some even consider it as a suitable wintering ground.
The inter tidal mudflats of the Olanga Island is the house of a large number of invertebrates. These invertebrates supply food to the birds with which they can also replenish their fat reserves in case they are intending to cover an additional 3000-15000km in search of 'greener pastures'. Then again, the birds come back once more on their return journey. Of course there are those birds that settle here for the season too. In fact throughout the year birds can be seen flocking in the Olango Wildlife Sanctuary.
During low tide a large part of the Olanga Wildlife Sanctuary can be covered on foot. So, arriving at the island during high tide to get an opportunity to venture on foot far into the area when low tide sets in is a good idea.

This makes the trips to the Olango Wildlife Sanctuary, Cebu all the more sought after. The Olanga Island can now well become the destination of nature lovers, bird watchers and picnickers alike.
