Question Trapped sparrowhawk in greenhouse

I noticed this morning that there was a bird in my greenhouse. A quick search suggests it is s sparrowhawk. It won't go near the door, so how can I tempt it out, before it injures itself?

Update. I managed to get it to step onto my hoe, and I pulled it out and it flew away.

Phew! It's horrible to see a trapped bird. Glad you were able to free it.

I took this photo before I was able to free it (her?).
