| 4. mouette |
| Mouette a Seagull *seagull sounds* I used to live on the boat and there were seagull all over the place and they will wake you up again like roosters but roosters of the sea, and they would just poop on the deck. |

Bonjour Catherine et merci pour votre message !
"mare" is similar to "mer" but the meaning is different
mare = pond
mer = sea
Bonne journée !

"Le cygne nage dans la mare." means "The swan is swimming in the sea," although I have never seen a swan in the sea. However, your translation is "The swan is swimming in the pond." "Pond" in French is "étang."
