Found calling next to eggs, as was a second specimen as can be seen by rfoquet's observation. Unclear wether these large eggs are the same species.

This frog was at least 6m from the floor of the cave and well into the dark part of the cave. Unlike https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/203784963, which was wedged into a crack in the wall, this frog was on a flat wall. A very shallow stream emerges from the back of the cave and runs towards the entrance near where the frog was found. Its possible that the frog was washed into the cave, but I suspect it climbed the wall from the entrance floor.

The lizard was so intent on keeping its prey it didn't skedaddle, giving us a chance to take pictures.
I assume it wasn't scavenging and actually caught it, but you've got to be fast to catch these insects!

The Honey Badger was trotting along the trail towards me but turned when it became aware of me. I followed it at a distance of about 70-100 metres from it, for about half a kilometre, then left it, so I did not stress it. It stayed on the path and seemed relaxed! did not manage to get a photo.
