I yup! Your turn.

I haven't much of a clue, so I'll say Pippin to Gandalf?
It is Frodo to Gandalf. In many meetings. Sorry for being too hard. Your turn.

Bilbo in Mirkwood? I think it was the first night they spent there rather than when he awoke while being tied up by lazy-lob or one of its relatives.
Absolutly correct Grondy. Your turn.

Keerekt Thorin; your turn again.

I think it was Merry to Galadriel upon the Fellowship's being introduced to the rulers of Lothlorien. Though it may have been one of the others who made that statement; it was she who had asked the question.
I'm still trying to first answer the questions in this thread from memory before resorting to the books for my subsequent guesses.

No, Grondy it isn't they who said it.
Okay, the time I was thinking of, was Aragorn to Galadriel, but he used different words. So it must be Merry or Pippin to Treebeard upon their initial meeting on that sunny hillock in Fangorn Forest; and this time I'll guess it was said by Pippin.
This time you're right. It was Pippin to Treebeard. 
So, who said to whom, about what?
'And these winged creatures that they ride on now, they can probably see more than any other creature.'

Gandalf to Pippin about the Black Riders?
Nope, try again.
Frodo to Sam when they were in the desolation of Sauron?
Yes, they were outside the Black Gate hiding in a slag pit and a Nazg’l flew over on one of the fell beasts, probably on its way back from the ruins of Isengard.
Your turn again, Thorin.
Your turn again, Thorin.
To whom was that said and in what situation?
"Well, you're wanted anyhow," said the leader. "We want you. Take him lads! Lockholes for him, and give him something to keep quiet!"

Was it to Mayor Will Whitfoot by the Chief's big men, when old Will tried to stick up for the rights of his constituents.
Nope, but your subject matter is correct.
It was the leader of the ruffians to Farmer Cotton prior to the Battle of Bywater.

Hahaha....took some time for me to think but unless i'm wrong its Cirdan the Shipwright.
You got it in one. Good show.
Thank you Grondy. But haven't you forgotten anything?
What, to say it's Thorin's turn, because he guessed Cirdan the Shipwright? 
Ooops sorry grondy. I thought i was in "Finish the sentence Fool".
Anyway who, why and where said:
"But what do you guess is the reason?" he asked. "is there more in it than surprise at seeing for hobbits,..."

if that should be "four hobbits"? Then it might have been said at the Prancing Pony, the Council of Elrond, in Gondor or even in Bree or the Old Forest. It will require further dwelling upon to rule out possibilities, before I resort to the books.
It indeed refers to the four hobbits but everything else is wrong!! 
Aye yup! It was Gandalf replying to Aragorn, who had worried why the birds and animals of Hollin were so quiet, like silent even. This was just before the crebain's reconnaissance flight over the Fellowship's position.

Gandalf about Frodo to Elrond?
Nope, try again.
I couldn't remember who they were and I didn't bookmark the page. Luckily, the book opened to that page today when I went back to check on it.

Yes, that's it; your turn again.

I don't remember Bilbo visiting Gondor Grondy!!
That was just another senior moment. 
Change my "Bilbo" to "Frodo" and it should be a more correct answer.
