The swanlings and mother swan leave the nest and never come back. You can see the mother teaching them how to eat. Or maybe, the female swan is very hungary. She must have sat on that nest for three weeks, if not more!

Swan Swanlings:
The word swan is derived from Old English swan, akin to the German Schwan and Dutch zwaan and Swedish svan, in turn derived from Indo-European root swen (to sound, to sing) Young swans are known as swanlings or as cygnets, from Greek and from the Latin word cygnus ("swan") and the Old French suffix -et ("little"). An adult male is a cob, from Middle English cobbe (leader of a group); an adult female is a pen. SOURCE:
