Hi Tom,
I like your recording, and thanks for sharing it with the group. Anthropogenic 
sounds might not spoil the recording, but they can affect its classification as 
a nature sound recording. Your recording has several shared subjects - birds, 
trains, people... Just because trees with wild birds are there, does that make 
the surroundings natural?
