Expecting To Fly

It's hard not to imagine them feeling something like joy when they do this, pretty joyous to watch anyway. This youngster is still hanging around where it was born, strangely it's father ( presumably ) hasn't been agressive towards it as far as I've seen, very un-swan-like behaviour especially considering they must have imminent new arrivals. I'm pretty sure it can't fly, does it's right hand wing look damaged ? I know they're perfectly capable of surviving without being able to fly, I just worry how long dad's patience is gonna last, especially once the cygnets hatch. In previous years he's not been known for his patience............
