I see it! Look at the shadows in the bushes! I've never seen anything like it.
I'm trying to think of times earlier than that where there were no hobbits present. Was it spoken among the three hunters?

Could be in the boats on the Anduin? Technically one of the boats had no hobbits present

Al, later.

Jude, not among the 3 hunters, per se, but said by one of them with the other 2 present (along with others).

There are eyes! Eyes looking out from the shadows of the boughs! I never saw such eyes before.

Thanks, Voronwë!
My husband is sick and injured. You can't continue riding after sunset. He needs rest.

Is this Sam to Glorfindel?
‘My master is sick and wounded,’ said Sam angrily. ‘He can’t go on riding after nightfall. He needs rest.’

On the road to Isengard. The eyes in question belong to either Ents or Huorns.
