I'd say rain drops too as there looks to be a little downward motion to them, plus I've never seem dust rendered quite like that in an image...that first on had to you been sampling the mead? It's a little off level :lol:
 
yea it prob is raindrops cheers guys matthew my bad lol i was shooting up hill and i think the tent was on a slope but it def looks wonky wish there was mead there lol
 
Dust on your sensor will never be lighter than the areas of the image they are on. Think about it... it's dirt on the sensor.. it's STOPPING light from hitting the sensor... it will be darker.

As others have said... it's rain.

Also, if dirt was on the lens, it would probably not even show, even on wide lenses, but as these were taken with long lenses, it would be impossible for dust spots on the lens to be visible. You'd be surprised how filthy your lens has to be in order for it to actually have an effect on picture quality.
 
Can't read it... more spots on the image than there are punctuation marks!
 
I'm wondering if it's a sensor or processing fault? Looking closely they appear to be very regular in shape and in size(s).

Be pleased to know I'm wrong and what the answer is:)
