Welcome to the Desert Centre - recent sightings blog! This blog will be a place for you to visit and see what plants and animals are being sighted around the Desert Centre throughout the year. If you snap a picture some plant or animal during your visit to the centre which you don't see featured or identified, why not forward the pic to us where we can both feature it on our "Ask a Biologist" forum at the Desert Centre website and perhaps post your sighting too. The link for our Desert Centre website is also listed at the right of this page.
