We observed the field of the Swift GRB 131030A (Troja et al., GCNC 15402)
with the 0.5m telescope D50 and 0.25m telescope BART in Ondrejov (Czech
Republic), starting at 20:57:16 UT, i.e. 56s after the trigger.
The optical afterglow (Virgili et al, GCNC 15406) is clearly detected in
our images. After an initial peak of about 13.8m (unfiltered, calibrated
using USNO-B R-band) the lightcurve decays with \alpha~0.9.
