Just saw this study from the Netherlands about the effect on bird populations. I know we've been talking about bees mostly but there's that whole "circle of life" thing we all learned from school (and "The Lion King"). At least the end of the article says the EU is imposing a moratorium of its use on flowering crops.

Edited to add another article which goes into a little more depth. Scary stuff!
