| | | Fern in Rock for ID :-)
I came across lots of this fern yesterday, nestling in a large lump of limestone. So beautiful and delicate....but what species is it? 
Thanks,
Tracey 
ooh, is it Maidenhair Spleenwort?

It is one of my favourite ferns which I am using for my little avatar. |

Keep your eyes open for the similar Green Spleenwort (Asplenium viride) has green petioles rather than black and is much less common.
All the best
