We present the first optical observations of the radio source 4C +08.45. It is identified with an elliptical galaxy (R = 15.92) at redshift z= 0.1250, with a comparable companion galaxy (R = 15.36; z= 0.1257) at a projected distance of 34.8 kpc. Both galaxies are normal elliptical galaxies. The galaxy identified with the radio source shows strong emission lines on top of an elliptical galaxy spectrum. The companion shows no emission lines. Based on these observations and the available radio data we believe that 4C +08.45 is a LINER type galaxy. Based on observations made with the Nordic Optical Telescope, operated on the island of La Palma jointly by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias.
