(IKI)  report on behalf of  larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the Swift Swift GRB 130606A (Ukwatta et al., 
GCN 14781)with AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of Abastumani Observatory, 
starting on Jun. 06 (UT) 21:47:43. We obtained several unfiltered images 
of 180 s exposure. The afterglow (Jelinek et al., GCN 14782; Xu et al., 
GCN 14783; Nagayama et al., GCN 14784) is well detected in  separate 
images. Preliminary photometry
