Church leaders even dressed up in rabbit costumes to give away chocolate goodies.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/easter-bunny-icredo-e1427710104914.jpg"><img src="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/easter-bunny-icredo-e1427710104914.jpg" alt="easter-bunny-icredo" width="300" height="410" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-554" /></a><center><i>A vicar dressed up as an Easter bunny</center></i>\r\n\r\nBishop Lindt said that after one failed plan, his church was left ‘stacked almost to the rafters’ with scores of boxes of uneaten eggs.\r\n\r\n"Last year we thought we had nailed it by handing out free Easter eggs in the county\'s churches, but people thought we were just hammering home the Easter message too much.\r\n\r\n"As spiritual leaders of the community, we have been trying our best to engage a new congregation, but we have been coming under increasing criticism for trying to promote a traditional approach to religion.\r\n\r\n“It seems that bashing the bishop has become a national pass time. We are doing our best to beat off the competition but there are just too many options out there," he railed.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/church-chocolate-easter.jpg"><img src="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/church-chocolate-easter.jpg" alt="church-chocolate-easter" width="320" height="240" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-552" /></a><center><i>Churches are ramming home the choccie message</center></i>\r\nBishop Lindt said he had all but given up on his congregation.

But then wardens noticed the sightings were being chalked up repeatedly on \'What\'s About\' noticeboards used by enthusiasts to pass on information about which creatures they have seen.\r\n\r\nOne birdwatcher had even helpfully drawn a picture of the eagle, albeit with a strange long beak, on the board alongside normal entries like snipe, geese and coots.\r\n\r\n<center><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/minsmere-board-e1428256786419.jpg"><img src="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/minsmere-board-e1428256786419.jpg" alt="minsmere-board" width="400" height="533" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-596" /></a></center><center><i>The eagle has landed.

It\'s that sort of attitude which gives eagles a bad name.\r\n\r\n"Then I was amazed to spot the two bears playing about in the long grass. It was a lovely moment, and one I am unlikely to witness again."\r\n\r\n<strong>Paddington Bear</strong>\r\n\r\nExperts say it is likely the Bald Eagle, so called because it has no feathers on its head, was swept off course by the wind from its normal habitat in Birmingham.

But you must remember they are more used to feasting on marmalade sandwiches rather than catching shrews and fish."\r\n\r\n[AdSense-B]\r\n\r\nA spokesman for the RSPB, which runs the Minsmere site close to Dunwich, said: "We\'ll be trying to catch the bears and find them a good home.\r\n\r\n"As for the eagle with the mahoosive wings, we expect it to stick around for a while.
