Becoming aware of the eye's blindspot??

This might sound like an odd thing to ask about, but is it possible that i might have just become aware of my eye's blindspots?

For example, if i sit in front of a monotone bright surface, i am aware of a tiny "blotch" just to the right and down from my focal point of right eye and an almost identical one to the left and down of the focal point of my left eye. But when i move my eyes to try and follw the blotch i lose it. This is only something i've just become aware of in the last few weeks though.

This is quite a difficult experience to have explained, and i hope it's clear enough to have some sort of explanation from somebody?
