The scientific name for the common buzzard is Buteo buteo.
Another bird thought to be a buzzard was the hobby Buteo subbuteo now classed as a falcon Falco subbuteo, the Eurasian hobby.
When the guy who invented the game that became known as Subbuteo tried to patent the name, he wanted to just call it "The Hobby", but was turned down, so he used the birds Latin specific name. It is the hobby.
