"The Watcher 0.4m telescope, located in Boyden Observatory,
South Africa, observed the SWIFT error box for GRB 060614
(Parsons et al. GCN 5252, Mangano et al GCN 5254, Holland et
al GCN 5255, Barthelmy et al GCN 5256). 

We detected the object quoted by Parsons et al. (GCN 5252) and
estimated its brightness as R=19.0+-0.3 on the 20min image
obtained at 20:50UT (ie. 7.1h after the GRB).  Further we
observe fading with a power law decay index of ~-1.0. 

We encourage spectroscopic observations of this object.

This message is quotable".
