What Does A Dot In The Field Of Vision Indicate?

I have just started seeing a small black dot in my vision a little off from center and moving out of my vision a little ahead of my eye movement in the same direction. It is distracting and because it is so authentic looking, as though a bird or lizard caught my peripheral attention, it has me constantly thinking I ve seen a bird in my peripheral sight zone.
