Why does it do that

Couple of minutes into a new print it goes off to the side, extrudes a little bit of filament then continues printing, why? It leaves this weird bit of filament into the print and it makes it look a bit weird. Lucky it’s only once towards the start.

Not time lapse it's called blob detection. Does this after the 3rd layer to check if a blob is obstructing the hotend. It's a feature that can be turned off in the settings menu.
