In My opinion, it could be birds or intempestive protection action.
 

RE: Transient Fault 132 kv single circut

Do you have any more information:
-phase fault or ground fault? or a mixture?
-any fog, salt fog, recent high winds?
-is protection duplicated?  If so, do both operate?
are the VT circuits ok?
has this just started tohappen, or is it an on-going problem?
if it is recent, does it coincide with changes on the system or in the substation wiring?

RE: Transient Fault 132 kv single circut

Have you results of Fault Recorder or  Sequence Event Recorder in order to know which control ordered the breaker trip?
Did the  Substation crew   manual switch manoeuvres to connect or disconnect line ?
If it is at night could be a result of a human wrong manoeuvre.
