TAY811, OE-IFD, possible birdstrike after departure, diverted back to EBLG after a short excursion overhead West-Flanders.

Correct, bird strike (engine number 3 ingested numerous seagulls) during take-off. Performed fuel dumping and then vibrations in engine number 4 appeared. Declared MAYDAY and returned to Liège. Safe landing overthere but RWY22L still closed. 22R in use.

Dumped fuel where exactly ? And how much ? It was potentially pretty full, how much is that, 150 tons?

Apparently they first tried to land without dumping, but they changed their mind
Also they carefully went around maastricht, which is very different than the usual aproach

I happened to be on the parking behind the ASL buildings when OE-IFD took off.
Apart from the great view when a B744 takes off leaving a spray of water behind in yesterday's weather conditions, my attention was caught by the big number of crows flying away when the B744 passed. The B744 seemed to be taking the full length of the runway before very slowly taking height. I even thought: this one heavily loaded. I couldn't see something went wrong.
I few minutes later I continued my journey to Maastricht when suddenly on the highway I saw a B744 preparing for landing.
At that time I didn't know it was OE-IFD again. I could not imagine that a B744 who took off 5 minutes before was going to land again.
Acid-drop: your picture answers the question I think. If they dumped fuel, it was over land.
But my guess is they were not that heavy, hence the quick return and landing again. I assume more cargo is going from east to west as opposed to west to east?

For the spotters, here is my log for yesterday:
Fedex:
B777F: N859FD, B752F: N918FD, N920FD, N923FD
Mix B733F&734F: OE-IAR, OE-IAF, OE-IAQ, OE-IAG, OE-IAT, OE-IAE, OE-IBW, OO-TNN
West Atlantic B738F: G-NPTA, G-NPTB, G-NPTC + B734F G-JMCS
West Atlantic Sweden B762F: SE-RLB
ASL Mix B733F&734F: OO-TNO, OE-IAK, OE-IAC, OE-IAY, OE-IBI, OE-IAD, OE-IAX, OE-IAZ
ASL B744F: OE-IFD + B738F: OE-IMC + B752F: OO-TFA
Bluebird B734F: TF-BBH, TF-BBL
Western Global MD11F: N545JN
ICL B744F: 4X-ICC
Sprint Air SF340: SP-KPC
Atran/Volga Dnepr B734F: VP-BCJ

And Maastricht produced G-CKZN/O CRJ 900 Basic SAS no titles, D2-EUP DHC-8 Heli Malongo, PH-APW F100 Air Hollandia, YA-AJH CRJ2 Afghan Jet, HB-ALQ ATR72 Zimex, PH-DND E145 all white, VP-BNU DHC-8 Yakutia and HZ-AK71 as most important ones.

Correction:
PH-APW F100 Air Hollandia
should read PH-ABW and HZ-AK71 is a Saudia B777F.
Furthermore also HB-JCB A220-300 Swiss was present for maintenance at Samco.

The aim of the first approach was to perform a visual check of the engines by people on the ground. This was not a landing attempt !

So they did dump over land while they were 2min away from the sea
Must have had pressure
