J. P. U. Fynbo (U. Aarhus), J. Hjorth, K. Pedersen (U. Copenhagen) report:

"We have obtained R-band observations of the the candidate optical afterglow
of GRB 030725 (Monard, GCN ##2324,2334; Vinter et al. GCN #2335) with the
Danish 1.5m telescope at La Silla. The late R-band light curve (Jul 29.3 -
Aug 6.3 2003 UT) is well-fitted by a power law decay with index -1.4 +- 0.1.
The optical transient is now R ~ 23."
