Dynamicity inside a stationary water drop

Based on the similar movement of inhomogeneities on soap bubbles, I'd say the flakes' movement is caused by air currents around the drop and perhaps thermal convection.

Those are flakes of lampblack. Their wettability in water is unequal around their periphery. This allows surface tension forces to apply a netforce in some random direction on the flake and force it to scoot around, until the wettability difference goes away as the water begins to wet out the previously poorly-wetting spots.
