We have observed the field covering the error circle of
GRB090516 (Swift trigger 352190, GCN 9374, Rowlinson et al.)
with the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope
at University of Miyazaki.
The observation was started 11:16:08 UT (1.8 hr after the Swift trigger),
under cloudy condition.
First image was obtained at 11:17:11 UT (1.8 hr after the Swift trigger).
We have compared our data of 30 sec exposures with the USNO-A2.0 catalog.
There is no new source at the reported position.
