Fishing or moth net
Have you noticed most Sainsburys are about 10 metres to the roof level and have huge steel frames giving ample escape routes. The bird has been there for at least 10 days and as the doors are open most of the day could get out if it wanted. I guess it's found a nice source of food, is warm etc. It won't be so comfortable when it gets a .22 pellet to the brain.I reckon it needs a humane trap setting to get it out. Anyone help in north Cardiff?

Why can't you just leave it be?I reckon it needs a humane trap setting to get it out. Anyone help in north Cardiff?
It/they may have a nest with eggs or young in the building and are coming and going through a small gap in the structure of the building that you're not aware of.
At this time of year the only thing an adult wagtail will be thinking of is mating and rearing its young, you say you've only seen one but one stays on the nest while the other goes for supplies and male and females don't look that much different.
From laying eggs to fledgling only takes about 28 days, so leave the poor little buggers alone.
Beware, I'm Thinking of starting a save the Sainsbury's wagtail campaign,

Are people really suggesting leaving a bird in a supermarket? What could possibly go wrong with that
The company I work for usually leave them to find their own way out, unless they are pigeon's. We have owls living in some of our buildings, we have to modify our security systems to allow for them, but we leave them alone, due to their value as pest control and the danger of trying to relocate them. Standard procedure for a small insect eating bird is to leave all the doors open during operating hours and remove any strip curtains, they usually find their way out within 12 hours.
It happens more often than you'd think but most of them time they fly in then straight out again.
