The above photo is the male fern, Nick... http://www.floralimages.co.uk/pdryopfilix.htm Totally different to bracken and I think I am right in saying in that it is not invasive like bracken is..

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

Oops, sorry, but they do hide ticks.

I always take my camera with me because I never know what I might see.

This is another picture of a fern that I thought was very satisfying.
