Carl, Birding-Aus
I live in Sawtell, just south of Coffs Harbour. I first saw
(briefly) what was almost certainly a House Gecko here, at my
house,
27 May 2007 and confirmed them 16 January 2008; there were no records
in between. They were heard or
seen a few times up to July 2008 after which we were away from here for
a year or so. On our return in mid-October 2009, they were heard
regularly, almost nightly at times, up till the present. I have also heard them in the camp kitchen at the
Sawtell Reserve/Caravan Park in the first half of 2009.
We also have Northern Leaf-tailed Geckos here, around the house.
Rarely seen (usually when getting timber from a stockpile beneath the
house or within a workshed), and certainly not obviously hunting around
the lit areas of the house at night. I have no idea whether there is
any negative
impact on the Leaf-taileds from the presence of the House Geckos; I
hope not.
Cheers, Peter
