We have been helping out a couple of researchers work with these petrels. They typically dig burrows in the ground and in some places there are so many you can't walk without caving them in. Caving them in is especially bad this time of year because they have started laying eggs and incubating. This particular bird on the other had has chosen to build a nest under an old concrete block, it was probably a lot less work and it helped me get a good picture of one.
