This seems to have started happenning.
I know I ought to contact my dealer but thought I would ask for advice ahead of that.
I guess it could be the fan bearings/ mountings and I could be unlucky after 8000 miles. I assume it is an electric thermostatically controlled fan.
Lasts a couple of minutes.
Edit: I've done a search (too late) and it seems it's "normal"! (don't understand why it didn't do it till recently though)
