THE Wealden Consort, a name reflecting the
Weald of Kent from which its members are
drawn, will be making a concert tour to West
Norfolk in May.
They will be giving a concert at St Mary's
Church, Old Hunstanton, on Saturday, May 2,
at 7pm, and a second concert at Park House,
Hotel, Sandringham, on Sunday, May 3 at
7.30pm.
They will also act as the choir and sing an
anthem at morning service at St Mary's
Church, Old Hunstanton, on Sunday, May 3, at
11.15am.
The choral programme will be drawn from
composers such as Gabriel Faure, John
Rutter, C V Stanford, Leonard Bernstein,
Gershwin and Cornelis Taekema (the con-
sort's musical director), and many others, and
is likely to include church music, traditional
folk songs, classic popular songs, madrigals,
spirituals and some African tribal songs.

EVER wanted to see a Hammerhead Shark close
up? Head for the Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary
this year to see the new arrivals.
A pair of bonnethead sharks will be unveiled
in time for the Easter holidays.
Bonnetheads are the smallest member of the
hammerhead family, found in the Gulf of Mexico
and off the Brazilian coastline.
Like larger hammerheads, the bonnethead
swings its broad, flattened head back and forth
like a metal detector searching for food.
Instead of metal, it picks up the tiny electrical
impulses given off by crabs, molluscs and small
fish that it preys upon.
Having very little natural buoyancy, it will sink
as soon as it stops swimming, so needs to keep
on the move all day and night.
The bonnetheads will join the Sanctuary's
existing collection of tropical sharks including
black-tip reef sharks and a leopard shark.
All of the sharks are housed in the mighty
Tropical Shark Display which contains approxi-
mately 225,000 litres of water, three metres deep
and is completed with a special walk-through
tunnel that runs through the bottom of the dis-
play � it is here where visitors can watch the
sharks � separated only by a few centimetres of
clear acrylic.
If sharks are a little too scary for your liking,
there are lots of other amazing creatures to mar-
vel at.
The resident family of playful otters are guar-
anteed to entertain the whole family with their
antics.
There are also comical penguins, slippery
octopus, seahorses, giant crabs and the ever-
popular touch pool � where children can learn
how to handle rockpool creatures such as
starfish and small crabs while under the expert
supervision of the animal care team.
Last but by no means least � the Sanctuary
also rescues and rehabilitates orphaned and
injured seal pups, in a specialised Seal Rescue
Centre, visitors can enter the hospital to view
the poorly pups through one-way glass and
learn all about the vital rescue work that is
undertaken.
The Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary is situated
on the promenade and with a gift shop and
caf�, is a not-to-miss experience for the whole
family. Open every day from 10am. Except
Christmas Day.
Among the many creatures
at the Hunstanton Sea Life
Sanctuary are bonnethead
sharks (left), terrapins
(below, left) and cute otters
(below).
