We began to observe GRB 250328A (Brunet et al., GCN 39910) with 50cm telescope (GWAC-F50A) at Xinglong station, China, at 2025-03-28T16:59:19 (UT), about 145s after the burst. 

With the first observations with exposure time of 6*100 sec, no any uncatalogued source was detected in our stacked image down to a 3 sigma limit magnitude of 19.0 mag in R band, at the mid time of 7.5 min after the burst, comparing to several nearby USNO B1.0 stars.

We acknowledge the excellent support from observation assistant Yangtong Zheng and Winlong Dong.
