Fruit Bat, AKA Flying Fox. Some of them carry some dangerous viruses. Hendra Virus is one of them, kills horses.
Obviously you are still alive so you didn't catch anything. I think the big risk is if you get bitten or scratched by one.
We have them in the trees where I live, they are eating the Palm seeds at the moment, but the Mangoes are just starting to fruit, once the fruit get bigger, they will move onto them.
