The BL Lac object CGRaBS J0211+1051 (MG1 J021114+1051, or 1FGL J0211.2+1049, Abdo et al. 2010, ApJS,188, 405) was detected in Gamma-rays by Fermi LAT on 2011 January 23 (ATel #3120) and is known to be brightening up for last 3 years from 15.6 (2008) to 13.5 mag on Jan 24, 2011 (Atel# 3133). Swift/UVOT observations (Atel #3120, #3129) found CGRaBS J0211+1051 about 1.3 mag brighter in U band (U = 13.77+/-0.03) and 1.4 mag in W2 band (W2 = 14.44+/-0.04) on 2011 January 23, compared to the UVOT observation performed on 2010 March 5.
