Hi.
The Brant can be seen regularly at Andrew Haydon Park feeding along with
the geese. I could be wrong but have a feeling the Brant will be there for
quite some time yet. At least until they start using dogs to chase the geese
away. This is expected to start later in August when the moulting stage for
goslings will be completed. See:

A cooperative Green-winged Teal paid a visit to the same park for a few
days this week but it has not been seen for a couple of days now. Happy
birding.
Brant.
