We have imaged the field of Swift GRB 071010 (Moretti et al. GCN6859)
with the 1.04m telescope at NainiTal ~ 0.5 days after the burst.
Observations were performed in R and I bands in poor sky conditions.
We observed the afterglow candidate in R and I bands reported by Klotz,
A. et al. (GCN 6860). Magnitude of the OT is R ~ 20 in comparison to
nearby USNO B1.0 stars.
