Who blows the horn three times announcing the White Walkers?

Question

I just rewatched ‘Valar Morghulis’ (season 2 ending) (I am up to date to the tv series, haven’t read the books though) and I had the same question I had when I first watched it, only now I know about https://scifi.stackexchange.com/ :).

Who blows the horn three times announcing the White Walkers? They are at the Fist of the First Men, beyond the wall, so it could’t have been the Night’s Watch. One thought I had it was that that there could have been a sentinel, but again they are in wildlings’ territory and I think they could’t have a sentinel there (not safe) and also they are unaware of the wildlings whereabouts (that’s why the party went beyond the wall), which indicates they don’t  have sentinels beyond the wall.

And I was under the impression that the White Walkers army was marching on the Wall. If so, why didn’t they reached the wall yet (in the tv series)? Even if they weren’t marching on the Wall, Sam did see them, yet the Night’s Watch doesn’t seem to be very concern with them.

The horn is blown by the night's watch, and yes they have sentries hidden around their camp.

Here's quotes from Storm of swords, prologue.

And this is from TV episode.

The white walkers march to the fist of the first men at the end of season 2, not to the wall (right now the can't pass the wall because the wall have magic that block the white walkers). As we learn at the beginning of season 3 the white walkers and their army fought with the rangers of the night's watch in the fist of the first men, and as we know they killed almost all of the 300 crows in there (leaving their horses slaughtered in circles)

The situation in S02E10 you are asking about, is when Samwell, Grenn and Ed hear the three horn blows at the Fist of the first men.
Watch beginning of S03E01 for the answer :-). Samwell thinks it's Jon Snow and Qhorin Halfhand, but their rangers' group has been killed/captured. It's the group of crows lead by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont, which afterward meet with Samwell, Grenn and Ed.
