Default do fish sunbath ?

I recently transplanted some baby gold fish, up to an 1" in size to my
pond, I have 2 large koi in the pond as well from before, but I was
wondering.. while the koi like to stay out of the sun most of the time by
staying on the bottom, and coming up to the surface once in a while, I
noticed when the sun is in full shine on the pond, the baby goldfish like
to stay at the top near rocks or even on top of the rock where the water
might be 1" high over the rock, is this for warmth? they do swim all over
the place, but they seem to like the sun.
