report:

We have observed the field of GRB 071118 (Cummings et al. GCN 7106)
with the 1.5m telescope at Sierra Nevada Observatory in Granada (Spain)
starting at 18:00 UT (~9 hours after the burst). We detect the afterglow
reported by UVOT (De Pasquale et al. GCN 7116) in a 18x300s exposure
I-band image (with mean date Nov 18.8038 UT) as a faint object of I~21.7.
It is however not detected in a V band image of 11x300s.
