Nope, earlier than that as well.

I see it! Look at the shadows in the bushes! I've never seen anything like it.

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

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.
