Thats specular lens flare (ghosting), it looks like multiple little dots here, instead of a larger dot, since the light is partially blocked by tree branches. A lens hood and repositioning the camera are the only ways to prevent these.
I think it must be a speck of something on my lens. There's a similar artifact on another photo I have from around the same time, in about the same light.
Honestly just looks like normal lens flare where the sun is blocked by a tree branch. The flare is lens-dependent, but it's also dependent on conditions. I doubt one could reliably fingerprint someone based on lens flare unless OP is like one of a few people using this lens

So... what's that?

Must be of alien origin, the glow matches the green shown in documentaries.
Maybe OP is from Ireland, in which case it is most probably just a fairy.

So basically camera fingerprinting...
Better don't use the camera while committing crimes! ;-)
Not ones where I'm looking up into the sun, in any case.

You’ve got good composition and lighting choices!
Thanks!
