I've been wondering whether they have enough food there.  Early last week I noticed the adults were not there and one cygnet was trying to clinb out. I thought the adults had gone somewhere else to feed to leave the local veg for the cygnets but they have been back every day since.  Its a location where nobody stops to feed swans and perhaps the rangers should be asked to move the remaining cygnet over to the lake where the parents can take them where there is some food.
 
Harvey,   if you go there again soon could you have a look to see if it's malnourished as I don't go that way much now.
