MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the  GRB160225A 20 sec after 
notice time and 204 sec after Swift BAT trigger time at 2016-02-25 
14:24:20 UT (Siegel et al, 19075). On 
our first (40s exposure)  set we haven`t found optical transient  within 
SWIFT error-box (ra=10 56 58 dec=+53 39 17 r=0.050000).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.5 mag
