A. Belles (PSU) and A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210305A
85 s after the BAT trigger (D'Ai et al., GCN Circ. 29595).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position
(D'Ai et al. GCN Circ. 29595)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

w2                 603         1746          136         >18.60

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.155 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
