Photos immediately before and immediately after this one are normal.

Maybe the bird is getting ready to warp into another dimension?
I have no clue, maybe a small particle of something landed on the lens, then fell or blew off?

Bug or a piece of dust flew in front of the lens. Out of focus.

condensate? Maybe prior condensation has agglomerated and concentrated debris. Center of lens would be the last part to clear of condensation. Any contaminants would be concentrated in the last of the liquid to clear.
Unfortunately, i have had this problem in the past. i lived in Singapore (always hot and humid). Apartment delightfully air conditioned. I went out with a new lens and the lens was full of condensation. I waited a while and took a few pix. White spot in middle. It did clear but at high f-stops, i could always see some debris and lack of clarity in the center of the lens.
Condensation or contaminants as a result is my best guess.

Bird gave you the evil eye and missed and hit the lens instead.
Or something landed on the lens then blew off.

Probably a very strong reflection from something shiny or a mirror where it hit the lens directly for just a brief moment.

I would call Ghostbusters! I think I have their number. Ah, here it is: BR549.

The center of the spot is on the ground below the bird which suggests a reflection.

Well, I'm glad I could open the door for a little, (that's a little!!) humor this morning. I appreciate all the attempts to help too. Couldn't be condensation, there was a split second between the preceding shot and the following shot. Perfectly round so probably not a bug or something in front of the lens. I guess I'll have to go with a reflection from somewhere.
Although, come to think of it, Casper's head was big and perfectly round wasn't it?

There is another white dot a bit above the large blob (and a smaller white object at the top of the frame). And it looks like there's something white on the ground beneath the blob (but not centered on it). Do they show up in the adjacent photos?

I don’t see the relationship between Junior Sample hawking primo cars and the OP’s issue. 🤔
I think it’s a reflection of some kind. Laws of probability converged on a reflective stone. BTW, is this a one time occurrence?
