Can father mute swan keep the cygnets warm at night after mother swan died?

I was wondering if you can tell me. When the female of a pair of mute swans dies, will the male let the cygnets incubate under his wings at night? - he is there with the babies, but I wasnt sure if he can raise them and keep them warm by himself. They cygnets are very young.

Thanks
