Temperature gauge shoots up when turning ignition and goes back down after a few secs

Hi I have a 2004 ford c max and sometimes, not always when I turn the ignition and start the engine the temperature gauge shoots up for a few seconds and then goes back down . I don't see any signs of overheating and the coolant is fine. Does any one have an idea what could be causing this?
