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

We observed the field of Swift GRB 160321A (Stamatikos et al., GCN 
19211Not found
 
 
) with AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of Abastumani Observatory starting on 
Mar. 21 (UT) 16:26:45. We obtained several unfiltered images of the 
field. We do not detect any source within enhanced XRT error circle 
(Beardmore et al., GCN 19213Not found
 
 
) down to 21.9m. A probable source (S/N = 2) 
detected 3.5 arcsec South from the center of XRT error circle (Beardmore 
et al., GCN 19213Not found
 
 
) in coordinates (J2000) 06:37:40.74 +05:44:48.2 +/- 
0.5 arcsec in both coordinates.

Preliminary photometry of the field is following
