Hi k9
Fern 1 looks like young Royal Fern growth, 2 like Common Polypody and 3 is Harts Tongue Fern.
Someone will be along shortly to confirm. |

I agree with Common Polypody for 2, and Heart's Tongue Fern for 3. I don't think 1 is a fern at all - the leaves are coming off at right angles to the stem and the veining etc. just doesn't look right for pinnules.
Regards
Mike.

OK, I'll retract my ID for NO.1!
Should it be Fools Fern?  |
